Telemarketers !!!

No! I do not want the Disney channel! No! I do not want to switch to AT&T! No I don't want to participate in a short, short questionaire!

Oh, when is he going to be home you ask? Never! Don't call back!

Quick solution: keep a Bible handy and when the phone rings answer with Leviticus passages.

I'm usually fairly nice to the telemarketers, as they are usually not calling for me. But, there has been one occasion where I told one off. They called during an arguement I was having with someone. The company has never called back since.

As the old saying goes, ask for the persons home number so you can get back to them tonight.

Nah if telemarketers ring up and start asking questions, think up weird answers.

"How old are you"
"3654, I am a vampire"

I did that and they hung up after the first question

Hehe, Darkness that’s hilarious. Must try that next time!

But seriously, I’d like to know where these people get your names from. We still seem to get them even with an unlisted number!

oh and u know if u tell a company to take u off the list and they call u back they owe u 500 dollars, and than the next time its 1000 and than more and more


but all u gotta do is say, hold on, drop the phone and let them wait as long as they want

In the U.S., they are trying to establish a "no-call" list you can register your phone number on. Then, if a telemarketer calls you number after you've registered on the list, they're breaking the law, and they face fines from the government.

They ask me if im getting calles from alot of telemarketers, i tell them yes and they said that i had told one of the telemarketers that i dont want them to call my house no more. So this phone call is to help me make that happond (wtf). anyways they tell me abunch of mummbo jummbo, that like over 20 different telemarkersts have me on their bother the shit outa list(no shit).

and then they continue to tell me that they have a device that they are gona send me for free that will kill any automated telemarketers that might call me. (im thinking cant i buy this thing at the local electronic store) and abunch of other things like they will keep them from calling my house for the next ten years. blah blah blah...

There are companies out there that have lists of names and numbers. They sell them to other companies for "marketing" purposes. There used to a private investigator that rented space from our office. Once in a while mail still comes here for him. One time he got a catalog for ordering lists of numbers....I was pissed. I was tempted to write a nasty gram to the company, but my letter would probably be tossed anyways.
