Give them a call back to sell them on your service

I hate telemarketing. People must buy stuff from them or they wouldn't keep doing it, but I've never met anyone who bought anything this way.

They have called me several times. Its pretty funny.

"Hey, I just saw that you registered a new domain, do you need help with that or possibly hosting?"

Yes, I'm too stupid to know what to do with a domain name that I just bought in a pack of 20 other domains. And please recommend a good hosting company, I have no idea where to go!

That's fucking lame.

Weird thing is I have no idea where they got the number. The number is only 4 months old and I haven't used it to register a domain.

I fucking HATE telemarketers. An old roomate of mine was one and was able to get my number on a do not call list as it is illegal to market to telemarketing employees suposedly, but since he moved out the shit started again.

I received a call from the same folks. I just had 5 minutes to spare and called back asking for the bitch who left the message. I was asked a whole bunch of questions like extension number, etc. Of course, none of that info was left on the message and I gave them a piece of my mind.

So I did what anyone with 5 minutes to waste would do, I let the girl who answered the phone do her spiel. And I acted like I was REALLY interested. I mean, when I pay about 10 times less than $249 for hosting, how could I not be interested.

So I was leading her on when I got bored, wanted to end it and started to throw more curve balls that any telemarketer could take. "Why should I host with you?" "Why that price" and so on. It got really fun when I asked if they hosted extremely graphic, hardcore bukkake and if she wanted to model

I don't think they will be calling again
