        i just ask the telemarketer if i can call them at they're house at a later time. but, they never seem to want to give out they're home number.. hmm wonder why..

                    I appreciate good telemarketing. It's an art and a gold mine for anyone that can do it well. Too often though they put a $7/hr bonehead on the phone reading from a script totally unaware of how to sell.
                    You deserve to make more money. I'll help you do that.

                      They are just people trying to make a buck to feed there families. "Telemarketers" are just employees man, you got problems its with the companies, not the people making $10-15$ an hour to call people all day. Also., you think it really bothers them to have you unhook them for 4-5 minutes...they still get paid, your just wasting the bosses time.

                      There is cities across North America where the only opportunity for many is to work in call centers. Im not saying its adequate for adult programs to call people but to blatently fuck around with people who are trying their best to feed the families BY WORKING is retarded. Atleast they have enough work ethic to get a job, they could just as easily be on welfare and not calling you.
                      You make a very good point. And, when some stranger comes walking up my driveway, dropping off a flyer or wanting to give me a spiel, I ask for a phone number.

                      And, then I call their employer and tell them they have been warned, since it is not legal to shoot them or have them arrested for just walking up my driveway. I have to tell the door to door sales person to desist from stepping onto my property and if they fail to leave....THAT is when I can call the police and have them arrested for trespassing.

                      I understand people have to work and I give credit to everyone for trying to carve out a living. No, it's not their responsibility. It's the companies for whom they work and that is who I target.

                      But, damned if it doesn't piss me off when, out of the corner of my eye, I see some stranger walking up my driveway. Where are MY rights to privacy. This is MY property. I didn't invite them to come to my door at 9 p.m. or 7 a.m. or on Saturday or Sunday or any damned time, for that matter.

                      I resent these little intrusions, regardless of the reason.

                                    I've heard of being a smartass, but I think that went a tad bit over the line. Is that how Vivid treats complaints by attacking the person? Hmmmm....kinda shitty if ya ask me.

                                      They're not flipping through the white pages here, these are prior adult company lists that are acquired and merged and filtered beyond your comprehension. I'm assuming either you or your wife have purchased adult products in the past? If so, I'd say they did a good job in targetting you to sell the product.

                                        she asked for my husband and when i said he wasn't here she asked if i wanted to take part in a survey and asked if i was over 18. i said yeah..like anyone age 2+ could have.

I'm assuming either you or your wife have purchased adult products in the past? If so, I'd say they did a good job in targetting you to sell the product.
                                              Also ever think people may not want their family to know about their porn purchases, I know thats hard to imagine when blinded by greed..Dad vivid video called for you lol

                                                  she asked for my husband and when i said he wasn't here she asked if i wanted to take part in a survey and asked if i was over 18. i said yeah..like anyone age 2+ could have.
                                                  then some of the questions she proceeded to ask....would you prefer girl anal? girl/girl? interracial sex?
                                                  come on!
                                                  You know nothing about marketing lists. Sorry if they didn't include an isWebmaster field in the database. You're "in the industry", congratulations.

                                                            Actually, the way they are marketing this whole thing is insanely targetted and they're not cold calling up random households. As for the recurring billing issue you brought up, you're a webmaster and you're complaining about a recurring billing model??? That just makes no sense to me. Anyway, sorry if I blasted you in my first post.

                                                              One of my first jobs was calling up Playboy subscribers to get renewals! We had this tag team thing going because they found that men more often subscribed if a woman called but wives wouldn't let women talk to their husbands. So we'd have a guy call, get the husband on the phone and then I'd talk in this sexy voice - "Hi, I'm Corrinna Donut calling from Playboy and I want you!" - It was an interesting job. . . .

                                                                                  Not to mention the marketing plan is flawed. Your calling houses to discuss porn. Regardless of how targeted the call lists are most households have more than 1 family member. Anyone can be taking the initial call. A majority of people that enjoy porn do it without their significant other knowing about it. This will just open up a can of worms.

                                                                                  It will take a few calls to underage individuals, or perhaps an influential politicians family (or friends) to put this into the mainstream media.

                                                                                  Just another black eye for the industry.

What kind of porn do you like, favorite pornstar, etc. all they did was ask if i was over 18. i said i was (but so could a 12 yr old). then they said for doing the survey they would send me 4 xxx videos in the mail. all they needed was $1 to cover s/h. i said no thanks. then she said actually it wasn't to cover s/h, it was to verify my age so they could actually send me the movies...therefore charge $1 to my credit card. then she proceeded to tell me that after i got those 4 movies i could call them to cancel whenever i wanted, cuz they would be sending me more each month.
                                                                                                now if i wouldn't have said that i would not pay the $1 fee, she never would have told me this was a recurring thing.

You have not only been an asshole to one of the nicest women on GFY, you then seem to think you can say and do whatever you want based on who you think you are because it is GFY? Fuck you and fuck your phone spamming company. You have shown that you are a bottom feeder and that your business persona is that of a nobody fucktard. I don't care who the fuck you think you are or what company you are with.
