What I don't get is when its telemarketers ringing and using English names, its just odd, I'm not going to buy whatever crap you're selling (usually long distance phone deals) even if you use a fake English name. Having said that, all telemarketers are the scum of the earth no matter where they come from Best time was when an AAPT (phone compnay) telemarketer rang up and started all their spiel and asked who my phone was currently with, I said Primus to which they replied, "oh, ok, sorry if you're with Primus we can't help you" and hung up.

To any Australians reading this thread, there is now an 'Anti-Telemarketing' list you can put yourself on, meaning no more spam calls from all those fu*kers, or they risk a big-ass fine for the company they work for. Charities excluded...
