[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Messing with Telemarketers (Page 1 of 4)

So my new thing of late messing with the very people that mess with me. Especially when im off work.
This is the key. Never mind that do not call list. Hit the bastards where it hurts, the pocketbook. For example, i'll be off work minding my own buisness when a unexpected call occurs. As many of you would i'm sure i get up, go into the other room and check the caller ID. Annoyed, i realize the number is not know to me. In other words,i stopped what i was doing, went to go out of my way to talk to some one that i don't know, don't owe money to and doesn't know how to pronouce my first name. Suprise, its a telemarketer wanting to tell/sell me the latest and greatest. This is the fun part.... I will go out of my way to waste THIER time. i will simply talk to them about anything. Anything. The english language, birds, the color orange. Literally, anything to waste thier time. It can be especially ammusing if intoxicated, because, really who cares? They get paid by the sale and i wasn't buying anyway |

Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'4" 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought. What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know. |

I consider an unsolicited call to my phone to be an offer for free phone sex and act accordingly.
Sometimes, I'll act interested, and see how long I can get them to stay on the line..  , I'll even put the phone down and act like I'm busy, but I really want to hear their sales pitch...
occasionally yelling "hold on.. I'll be right there..." |

I just let the answering machine take the call. Most of the time, they hang up after three rings because they don't want to talk to an answering machine.
This saves me alot of time running to the phone. I just glance at my wireless handset and know it's probably a telemarketer. |

"That sounds like something I'd be interested in! Hey, can you give me a second to get the kids out of the pool so I can talk?" Set down phone. Go back to what you were doing. Fuck Yeah! I have been getting harassed by them lately and I will be doing this tomorrow.

For the most part I figure that they are just trying to make a living.Say no thanks and hang up.
A couple of weeks ago a joker called up and started trying to tell me my computer was sending out bogus E mails and I needed to visit a certain site so they could fix it.I went from grunt type responses to acting like a 75 year old eastern European. "You are a very bad man! You want me to go to that site so you can hurt my computer so you can steal my money! My Indian friend started telling me he was legit and just go to the web site. I responded " I have read about your scam you rotten man! Shame on you and you bad friends! Your mother would cry she didn't raise you to be a thief! To his credit he never broke stride. I kept telling him his religion condemned thieves and liars etc. etc. I grew bored after a few minutes and just hung up. Lately I have been getting calls to extend the warranty on my 2007 Caravan that I traded a year and a half ago.I've been telling them this every week for a few months now. Just tell them again and move on. |

Quoted: The problem is you're focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.

The last call came a couple of days ago, while I was sitting down for supper with the family. During her pitch, she referred to me as a "Valued customer". I went on for several minutes getting her to explain what made me more valuable than another customer. Eventually, she yielded and exclaimed that they value all of their customers. I countered that if that was the case, then I was really just an average customer. She hung up. My wife just looked at me, shaking her head and smirking  Then there was the time "Hank" called me for some bullshit I don't remember. Hank sounded like every Indian (dot) that I have ever met. So, the conversation went like this; Hajji from Johnny Quest; Hello my name is Hank, calling for some bullshit Me; Hank? Your name is Hank... Hajji from Johnny Quest; Yes sir my name is Hank, and I'm calling for some bullshit. Me; Wait, Hank is the name your parents gave you? Hajji from Johnny Quest; Click.... |

I had one calling every day for a while. I got tired of picking up and hanging up immediately so one day I turned up my speakers and played some lesbian porn. after a few minutes they hadn't hung up yet so i did, they immediately called back and I listened and the guy was conferencing in his co-workers. there were at least 3 people on their end laughing and saying stuff when I hung up again
sadly I no longer have caller id on my land line as I cut it back to a bare minimum local only plan and refuse to pay extra for caller ID. So now I don't know if it's the same few telemarketers that hang up on my answering machine every day or if it's lots of different ones. In either case I no longer answer the phone ever and have told people I know to call my cell or leave a message and I'll call them right back if I'm home |

And these political bastards do not have to honor the "Do Not Call" list. So F 'em. |

Quoted:
After dropping the home phone they went away. They where about the only ones that called the land line. Actually, if you drop the phone after answering, then just let it hang, these calls soon cease. If you tell them your a night shift cop and SWAT commander, they also quit. I would advise against saying that when a puritainically honest family member picked up the phone in a different part of the house at the same time you did, though.

I think the best one I ever did was pretending I just took abunch of pills to commit suicide.
When the dude called I told him it was nice to talk to someone before I left. Told him about how my GF just dumped me and how down I had been. Laid out my troubles to him. Eventually let him know I took a whole bottle of sleeping pills about 15 minutes ago. Started talking slower and slower quieter and quiter as he tried to convince me to call the hospital or the cops. Eventually went silent as the dude on the other end was yelling trying to keep me awake and to call 911. Telemarketer got to listen to someone die. I'm sure it made his day. |
