Me: hang on a second, what have you just said....

Remember this is the exact words said.....

Me: your name is not fukking Eddie jones....

"sir, how do you know this, my name is not Eddie jone"

Me: hey, ball bag. Your obviously calling from India or a country around ther....

"sir my name IS Eddie......

Before he finished I said...

Im just not that bright mate, would have been funny as...

What if his name really was Eddie Jones?

Ediie Jones... Class.

You know, he's probably a prince of a wealthy Indian dynasty that needed your help getting his money out of the country, because his family are being persecuted by the ruling militia, for which he'd give you half and owe you untold thanks.

If you'd just give him your bank account details and sort code you'd be minted now.

Knowing that people fall for these things firghtens me.

mate i used to work for consumer direct, the first point of advice for trading standards and endorsed by the office of fair trading. Your mind would boggle at some of the stuff people fall for and are suckered by.

My old favourite is the 'i just got a letter telling me i've won blah blah lottery but i didn't enter any lottery. anyway i have to send a cheque to...is this real'.

I was the wrong person to call.....

This is because they are trained to associate with the English. When I worked for IBM, I trained the lads from Bangalore and instead of their difficult to pronounce, they would be given English sounding names to build rapport.

They also watches footy, and eastenders, coronation st. All to help in building banter " did you watch Eastenders last night etc.."

Some of their call centres sure named after English landmarks and famous people too.

As soon as I hear "am I speaking to the home owner ?" the phone goes down.

Could have been his real name.

For all we know, he may have been born in Wales and his family moved to India as they were suffering abuse from their neighbours in the 1980s.

We just dont know at this stage.
