Sick of getting these from the same bastard loan shark companies.

I keep getting one from 'dinodosh', and the cheeky fuckers don't even have a 'Stop' function as you can't text back

I loathe these scumbag companies.

I'm getting a lot of PPI calls, I keep telling them I'll move it over to them and have the PPI off them, then when they tell me they are not selling PPI I accuse them of mis-selling, normally gets rid of them.

I keep getting car insurance people phoning me. I knew I shouldn't have put my fucking details in confused.com.

Oh, I also had a call a few weeks back from lawyers saying I was in an accident. LOL. Some cunt must have had a bump and given my name. Cunts.

Getting to be annoying. Three courses of action:
1. Text back "Fuck off parasite" (although this actually encourages them to call you, in which case when they say you responded to a text ask them if they read the message, they say no and you tell them what you wrote)
2. If a call ask the caller for their mobile number and say you'll ring them back later. When they refuse ask why, is it because they don't want unsolicited calls and you say "Oh, that's just like me, then".
3. Again if its a call ask how they can possibly live with themselves doing that for a living, "Surely you are better than this, remember your plans when you were young" usually stops them in their tracks.

Worst thing you can do is reply to spam texts or emails, as they'll know it's in use and just pass on your details.
