INTERRUPTING TELEMARKETERS
When
telemarketers call, they're interrupting you in the middle of your busy life.
But it turns out that they don't like being interrupted either! This clever guy
turns the tables on a telemarketer.(Warning: mild suggestive language, sorry)I am going to do this the next time I get a call, I am on the DNC list and have now started getting calls again. 4951

I got 3 calls yesterday within a few minutes,,, 1.. was somebody speaking spanish,,, I started talking like I spoke chinese,,,, 2. a beeping sound like a fax,,, I turn that number to my no call list  3. a recording from disney,, I hung up...
 
I had Hilton call me about a free night stay,, at a luxury hotel...  catch is... between these dates, I must pay for 3 nights, and sign up asap.... I listend to him and then began to debate over why I should sign up,,, I began to ask stupid questions, about free car rental, dinner coupons, flight rewards,, ,etc.... then I would put the phone down,, and say hold on,,, start yelling at the "kids" and slamming doors, like I was kicking them out... then got back on the phone, and asked a ton of questions,,, then said not interested 4951

This works for me everytime.  When they call at dinner time, as they always do, I tell them I am cooking dinner for my family and if they give me THEIR HOME NUMBER, I will be happy to return their call.  Usually they hang up on me.  I believe it should be against the law to solicit by phone.  I pay my phone bill, they don't pay my phone bill! 4951

@Humbletexan1:  My Mom does this to, she tells them to give her their home telephone and she will call when she is available around 2am

@mardigrasman: no.. you actually have to tell them to stop, calling...
the other day,, I had a kid call and say,,,  Hello my name is ___  I am a telemarketer and a college student. This is the only job I have, and I know you dont like these calls, but would you at least hear me out."
 
 So I asked a few quesitons,, sure enough he acted like a college kid. He was doing a survey on radio stations,, I did the whole thing,, and he actually thanked me. He said he had been working all week, and I was the first one that completed the survey, and for every completion he got a bonus. He was so thankful,,, it took about 10 minutes...
 
if I have time,, I will at least listen,,, but if they are trying to sell me something,, I say no thanks 4951

Most of these jobs are filled by college students because the companies offer tuition reimbursement as a benefit. The students don't lime the job anymore than you like getting them. They are not calling to interrupt your dinner or family time, they are calling because that is when people are home. I will listen because they have to have so much time on the phone for the call to count. Its not that big of a deal for me and if I am busy I will ask them to call back another time.
 
My niece told me they would put the mean or rude ones on an 8am call back schedule. She also told me you have to say, verbatim, "please put me on your do not call list" anything other than those words, by law, and they will call you back. Especially if it was a company you had done business with previously or one in its affiliates because the do not call register does not apply to those companies.
 
It doesn't take anytime to just BE A NICE PERSON. 4951

What's the point of being on the do not call list if they can still call??? I'm on it but still get calls. Why can they still call ? 4951

@mattem:
 
If you have ever called them or done any type of business with them OR their affiliates, they can call and you have to manually tell them not too. You also have to redo your do not call registration every few years. 4951
