The Ultimate Cold Call Stopper

Ever wondered what exact words you could use to end a cold call in its tracks, no questions asked?

Try this one, which I just came up with a few seconds ago:-

"I am sorry, I can't answer this call. You just caught me and my girlfriend* about to get into the shower."

It worked for me. ;)

*Substitute an appropriate term, e.g. wife / boyfriend / husband. Terms I do not recommend you use:- dog / best friend's corpse / mother's corpse / sister / brother / sister's corpse / dog's corpse / fourteen year old daughter / next door neighbour's fourteen year old daughter / some French guy.

Your cold-caller was an amateur. I'd just call back in an hour.
