Best way to get telemarketers off your back
 

So it's like fucking 8am and I get a call from some bullshit local newspaper.

Telemarketer: Hi Sir would you like to try a 10 day subscription trial to Sturbirdge Citizen newspaper?

Me: Hi, would you like to try a 3 day trial subscription to HerFirstGangBang.com?

Telemarketer: Hanged up

I used to get lots of calls from them, but not anymore :thumbsup

:1orglaugh

ask them is they like to suck cock

works like a charm

:thumbsup

:1orglaugh

Good job!

I hate telespammers.

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

If its a female ask her if she would like to pose nude with a disk in her mouth, a dick in her ass and a dick in her pussy for your porn website, I bet they hung up quickly :thumbsup

Register your phone numbers with the national do not call registry.

https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx

If you are already on the registry and getting telemarketer calls still, you can file a complaint with the registry
https://www.donotcall.gov/Complain/ComplainCheck.aspx

You need to get the company name, the phone number if possible and as much info as you can about the caller and time and date of the call.

The fine is up to 10,000 for each infraction.

funny shit!


are they allowed to hang up on you though? i thought that was against theyre company policy
:1orglaugh

caller id - if i dont know u, i dont answer

Nobody I know would ever call me that early, so if the phone rings at that hour, I just stay asleep in bed. If its some kind of "emergency" or something important, they'll leave a message :glugglug

or u can make them go thru there entire script and then hang up that gets them pissed off.

"I'm busy right now.
Can I get your home number / mobile number and I call you back later tonight..."

Works every time! :thumbsup

Air powered foghorn on an aerosol can works like a charm.....

get privacy director. It cost a couple of dollars more a month but it sure is worth it. It eliminates 99% of phone calls.

It's easy to not answer the phone, but still the phone rings and it can either wake you up or force you to get up and get the phone.

:( :hi

If you have time to kill... talk to them for a few minutes, get their spirit up for the sale and then tell them to hang on for a minute before they can get a chance to verify all your info... then just leave the phone off the hook and let them sit there and wait while you go about your business. Then hang up the phone 15 minutes later (or whenever you remember to do it, or if you feel like getting up from your chair). Kills their spirit every time. If they call back, get all psycho on their ass. If enough people do this, we'll rid ourselves of telemarketers, one leech at a time.

LAJ,

I do that myself with remarks like "really!" "sounds great!" "boy am I interested!", I then ask them to hold off while I answer the door :)

You will be amazed at how many telemarketers are still waiting 15 minutes later :helpme
