“Eh? I know we get less and less information these days to protect the villains but this is crazy...
Totally agree with the comments so far....
Are the women ex-directory? These devious sales calls we all get use random number generators to dial ex-directory numbers then hope some mug give away personal information.
Just tell anyone you don't know to clear off, or what a mate of mine does is say in a phony American accent "your call is important to us, you are number 963, please hold for one of our customer care assistants, thank you.."
Then put the receiver down and get on with something else...
Ha ha ha ha ha”

“Information overload? Are only women targeted. I don't see how someone can (presumably) cold-call people and only speak to women. Maybe to mention the alleged magazine would be useful”
