Banks Singapore

Post by Allibert » Thu, 08 Feb 2007 11:28 am

Anyone else getting these pestering phone calls from standard chartered bank? Have now had 2 in 2 days offering me a loan at "very low interest rates" combined with a platinum credit card.

When you tell them you're not interested and you have money thank you very much, it's the "maybe i can tell you more about it so you understand better" spiel

Patronising bastards as if people don;t know what loans are.

It's starting to get really annoying

I average about 2 a week from them. Both on my mobile and my office DID line which isn't even printed on my business card.

yep, have been receiving a lot of calls from them too... seems like the marketing of standard chartered is outsourced to a company called efusion.. and based on what one of the marketers I've talked to, they have quotas to fill every week.. this is probably the reason why we keep getting calls from different people offering the same product... I just tell them I have spare cash and don't need the loan... still works for me..
