Blog number 100 - phone scams, spaceships and elephants

Hi,

A couple of days ago I received a call from someone called named Chris who said he represented our local Energy company. He was informing me about some new government grants available for loft insulation.

This was the second time he had called that morning and he didn't seem to be taking any account of what I said so I thought I'd have a bit of fun and test him

When he asked about my loft, I casually mentioned that I currently have a spaceship parked in there.
To my surprise, instead of being flustered or confused, Chris just rolled with it and said, "That's okay!" He then continued with his script, describing the benefits of insulation and how it might help.
I interrupted him again to explain that the situation was further complicated because I also have an elephant residing in my garden. This time he hung up.
Unfortunately, I am now getting lots of random calls where they hang up immediately? Have they put me on some sort of random dialer? I hope it stops soon!

I hope that you are all having a good day and not being interrupted by fake phone calls!!

All the best,

Julia
