Thread: Telemarketers, laws, and me pissed off....

I think each state has its own laws regarding telemarketers

i know some state there is a certain amount of money you can be compensated for each call after you request they not call.

Put yourself on www.donotcall.org. It makes "them" legally punishable by the fed's if you are called by telemarketers. It might help a little, but some org's get exemption status (bribed someone prolly) so you might still get a few calls.

I like telemarketers. Its a great excuse to swear and shout at people for all the times you couldn't do it in work.

these people who ring u up to try and sell or give (yeh right) u a new mobile phone, then start telling u about them, i love em, try doing what i do, and turn it round, tell them about ur phone and try selling them urs, they get so fucked then after a few mins they go, bit sad but funny lol,

Yep. I fuck with them pretty badly. I talk about killing them with a hatchet or setting their pubic hair on fire. Real fucked up, funny, stupid shit.

Another good thing to do is just leave the phone off the hook on the side.

Most telemarketing phone systems dont let them make another outgoing call before the current call is ended at both ends. Even if they hang up, their switchboard will keep them connected if they pick up again untill you hang up yourself.

Its costing them money, and saving another person from being hassled by them. Plus you get a good laugh.

Everybody wins, and they get fucked.

You guys must all hate me because Ive been a telemarketer for on and off four years. I've never sold anything only did surveys about politics/ casinos / cable tv. The two companies only had a simple handphone and a computer from the 1970s. Basically if someone is a dick to me I'll call you back again but if someone is declines firmly I'll take them off the list. Another one that works is to say that your dead when they ask for you. That usually removes you from alot of call lists

Thats a good one too, i forgot about that one.

But no, i dont hate you, i just hate being bothered .

I do decline politely first, its when they wont take no for an answer that i get really ratty.

That is what I usually do. I have no idea if it keeps the line busy, but they get my point.

Thanks, I will try that. I do like to fuck with them sometimes though. It is just when they call me when I'm in a bad mood that pisses me off even more.
