I can think fast when pressed.
Mobile rang Tuesday afternoon about 2:15 PM ....Overseas displayed... I was bored...
I was greeted with a cheery “Good Morning!”
Another Indian telemarketer, offering a very good exclusive offer, ‘very chip’ phone connection,
AIRTEL being the name of the provider.
http://www.airtel.in/forme/homeUH- HUH?... I kept him on the phone for around 30 minutes...
I let him prattle on about capped plans etc for mobiles for awhile, then asked about fixed lines. He got very enthusiastic. I then said that this was not my primary number, but the fwding number for when I am out of the office, but I had forgotten to change it this morning, as I usually do not work on holidays.
I asked if it was possible for him to change the Provider for the primary service account, which he assured me could be done on Thursday.
I explained to him that Telephone Service Provider accounts in this country were called ‘Fergen’ phone accounts, ...named after one of our Telecommunication pioneers, and he would have to speak to the man in charge, Theg Hunt.
I had him repeat the name and position, and spell it back to me, to ensure he had the details correct. (I didn’t even snicker when he repeated it...)
He asked for the primary number, which I provided, (131 237) and I instructed him to call this number on Thursday, and to ask for this accounts person by name and position, to obtain credit card details to pay for the transaction.
A very happy chappy... he thanked me profusely before hanging up.
Made his day.
Love to be a fly on the wall when Australian Federal Police get a call tomorrow from a cheery Indian asking to speak to “Theg Hunt, in charge of Fergen Telephone accounts.......”
(The number quoted is a hotline for Australian Federal Police Assistance, at a Defence, Diplomatic or Government Establishment.......)
.... I’m bad... Kev
