Quit porn I found an EASIER job !!
 

No link but on the seattle news they had this story about a guy who makes 100k a year working from home. Apparently he noticed a clause that allows for damages for "pain and suffering" if you are called by telemarketers if your on the "no call" list.

He basically sits by the phone all day and waits for telemarketers to call him. He records every call , then marches off the the courthouse , files papers against the offending company and a recording of the phone call and sends it to the offender. Theres like a $5,000 limit per call so the companies usually just settle out of court and send him 2 or 3 thousand dollars.

They were playing this one telemarketer back and he was basically mocking the guy saying " i can call you whenever i like blah blah" , like telemarketers do when your upset and the guys like " he is gonna pay for that " :) classic shit..

Great Job! When do you expect a ferrari man!?

:1orglaugh awesome "job". I better quit and start now

Only in America! If you tried to do that in Denmark you would be laughed at. What ever happened to just saying "no I don´t want you calling me, goodbye"?

Damn wonder if they will close that little loophole or if the guy is going to continue to make the easy money

lol.... nice

There was a thing on 60 minutes a few months ago about a guy doing that, funny shit.

that's true :)

thats great haha

That would make an interesting practice of law.... Specialize in phone spam complaints. Do it on contingency. Not much different from some personal injury lawyers. LOL

lol... Im amazed.

Thanks for the info :1orglaugh

I'm going to start today :thumbsup

when they call me and ask "can i have a minute of your time" i always reply "no" and hang up. i hate those idiots. :disgust

wow. that's too cool.
good for him.

haha nice ;]

Excellent. Down with Telemarketers!

Fine for one call, but after awhile it's a pain in the ass. Now if that phone call wakes you up cause your a webmaster and have late hours....

sometimes I rip 'em a new asshole and they hangup on me.

Another option is to go along with 'em and let them waste their time too.

Over here we have what's called a "Do Not Call" list. Telemarketing has gotten almost as bad as spam. If you're on the "Do Not Call" list and they call anyway, well, you can sit in Seattle, record calls and make $100k a year.

That sucks for that guy when they stop paying him.

A couple of years ago I also saw where some lady took Sears to court and won a bunch of money because their telemarketers kept calling and asking her if she wanted to buy that extended warranty, insurance crap on some stuff she had bought. It went on for months until she finally sued them. They wouldn't settle and thought they'd beat her in court with their fancy legal team. They got their ass handed to them and the judge got all over them, too.

The best part was that a day or two after she won the case, the stupid fuckers called her again and did the same thing. :1orglaugh

Yeah, but it gets old when its happening 10 times a day, fuckers calling you during dinner, or early in the morning and waking you up. Its your home and you DO have the right to privacy in it.

hehe nice trick :)

I try to be nice about it, and tell them I am not interested right from the start. When the persist, I am polite and explain to them that I understand they have a job to do and if they don't mind I am going to sit the phone down and they are free to read their script or say their pitch and when they are done if they would be kind enough to hang up so my phone can alert me that it is off the hook I would appreciate it.

HHHmmmm interesting!!

good thing i have answering machine, telemarketers can fuck me anytime hahaha

:smokin

I play a game I saw in a movie once (I forget the name of the movie).

They ask if so and so is in and I say one moment. Set the phone down and continue doing whatever it was I was doing. Its fun to see how long each company will wait for someone to come back.

lol thanks but no thanks

Sears is alwasy calling my parents home for that extended warranty....hmmm :warning

Here I thought you were going to offer a "Drama Whoring Course" for GFY Trolls :1orglaugh

excellent idea

Hahahahaha... awesome!!

HAHAAH great shit.

innnnnnnnnnteresting idea!!! :) not to get on those no call lists, and then have them call..

that's actually pretty inventive IMO

Lets see if it's possible here

Only 100k/year? That's only the equivalent of 20 penalties at the maximum fine. I should partner with this guy and hand off all my telemarketing calls :)

WG

Heh :1orglaugh Well actually he said some of the companies just switch names so quick he cant catch them and it isnt worth the court filing fee. But yes i get a ton more than that.
