Don’t you fucking hate these automated message shit all to make money.
I’m getting sick and tired of these things or people ringing up just to sell something make money, they can all fuck off and die.

I wonder though, how many stupid people actually think, wow, i better call back and see if i won.
Or whether people use the logic, someones got to win, it might be me

Yeah, I hear ya dude. I got a similar call, but I hung up after "Congratulations, your number has..."
I also recently got a call from some woman telling me I had won a free holiday. Pfft. Nothing in life is free, let alone holidays.
Most of all I hate the Indian call centre people selling you mobile phone deals. I got told: we're not selling a phone, we're selling a plan and the phone is free, it's a fantastic deal! :rolleyes: the worst part is the phone lines they call on are garbage, and they're selling phones! great advertisement for the service...

haha its great, when they start off, "we are not trying to sell you anything, its just an offer for cheaper gas," or whatever , and its like, "so you are selling something" and they then admit to it.

Hey ! I got the exact same message on Friday ! I thought this kind of pre-recorded tele-harrassing was illegal.
I don't like answering the phone these days, 9 out of 10 times it's some stupid fuck-arse trying to sell me something I neither want nor need.

Hahah, yeah i got the first two type of calls too. For the first one I hung up as soon as I realised it was a recorded message. With the second I told the guy i wasn't interested. He seemed to be genuinely confused that i didn't want something that was "free", naturally I just hung up at this point.

Just for the record, I received the original $100,000 sports car offer today, so they must be making a few calls.

Scams are very profitable for one reason: stupid people call back. Do you want to sell things to stupid people over the phone? send them a scam. The stupid ones will automatically put themselves on the phone to buy your products.
By the way, does anyone want to lose weight? Because I can sell all of you some herbalife, just give me a call.
contact Mel on 0412 570 660 or email meljayden2004@yahoo.com.au
Oh, an leave like 3 or 4 messages, because I'll get back to you quicker. You get a big discount if you say "Pirate sent you"
