Best Way To Screw With Persistent Telemarketers - They Will Stop Calling You

So would you rather receive 100% or telemarketer calls, or a percentage of that 100%?

I forward their calls back to their number.

*of

The last few times that I asked to be placed on a "no call" list, the caller immediately disconnected. Bastards.

DERP

You get more calls when you fill out the Do Not Call.


Are you on a proxy or merely speculating from Slovenia?

This is incorrect. The registry does include cell phones.

Did you send them 500 pages of lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll​lllllllllllllllllllllll

??

Like I said, can't help you.

I get Scientology calling me again after I got out in the 70s. I just say, "Hold on." then go back to work.

For live persons I have two ways of dealing
with them. They either talk to the pig, a
little mini football sized pig I have that
grunts when ya squeeze it, or I keep em on
the line as long as possible to waste their
time and provide for myself a bit of cheap
entertainment.
You'd be surprised how long some of these
people will talk to only the grunting pig.
Sometimes I say I'm very interested, hang
on a minute, be right back, set the phone
down and leave it. Check every fifteen minutes
to see if they're still on and if so I'll
exchange dialog for fifteen seconds then do
the hang on be right back routine again.
Some of these callers must get paid by the
hour cuz I've had more than few stay with
me for over an hour.

The pig was a white elephant gift and when
I drew it, I recognized it's purpose and
comedic value immediately.

For real people, a good loud whistle...............

Well that quite DERP.


Off topic and super DERP.

Congratulations, I now have an impression of Sloveniacs.

That's right, they change numbers, like the spam agents change email addresses.

The Tom Mabe classic:

I bought a domain name, registered my real phone number (DUMB!), and did not have the contact information as private. Since then, I've been getting TONS of marketing calls - mostly for web design services.

HOWEVER, since then I place my number on the federal Do Not Call list - and it has been months since I did that. I STILL get MANY calls per week.

Q: Since I put my number in the domain contact information, does that NEGATE the Do Not Call status, and give them permission to call me with business marketing calls?

I give them politicians names from my state, along with their home addresses and office phone number including extension.

Fuck those democrats in office. Try it, it's awesome.

Just state "hey, let's cut to the chase, here's my info and could we cut this short and have you mail me right away and call me back in 10 minutes?, I'm on the toilet"

Works like a charm.

I have a neighbor who claims to have told a telemarketer that she had interrupted one of the best blow jobs he'd had in years.....she got all flustered and that outfit never called him again.

I've done that too. I also like acting crazy...make all sorts of noises and outbursts..then follow up with 'sorry sorry' then describe how you want to suck on the insides of their intestines cause Baal says it's delicious. At that point, they usually hang up.

I like that one! lol

Hit up a lawyer. I've made close 20k suing 4 different telemarketers. Just need the call log and they will settle.

I tell them, "Hold on I'm very interested. I can't find my wallet.". I set down the phone and walk away...

Start out the convo with;

Im so happy I just won the lottery for 100K.

That will oil their greed button.

Please tell us more - I'm on the Do Not Call list and get MANY marketing calls a week. How do we get started?

I have caller ID, so when I see a potential telemarketer calling, I answer in my best radio voice:

"This is KOBY radio, you're on the air with Fitch and Magraw. FITCH AND MAGRAW! What's your question for our guest today caller?"

There is almost always dead silence, so I have to repeat it again.

Then they stumble around and say something like "Ahhhhh, this isn't mr. so and so?"

I just keep on with the live radio script until they apologize and hang up. If they persist then I try to embarrass them "on the air." Tell them how many thousand people are listening and what the topic is for the show. Make sure the topic as embarrassing as possible.

They always hang up. Then I call block the number. That way, if they call me again, they get blocked, think they misdialed the first time and were really on the radio.

I actually look forward to telemarketers calling now.

Tom Mabe has the answer to dealing with these guys...

just hang up on them.


if you like a prick, they may harrass call you over and over again. even at all hours of the night and from a cell phone or other that you cant trace....just hang up. eventually, that will stop it.

I act all interested and then when they ask for my cc, I say, Oh I don't have one of those.
If they ask for my bank routing number, I say, Oh they took that away too!
They can't get me off the phone soon enough and they don't call back.

Its fun to play with their minds by reading them GLP threads... especially the random jumble of incoherent words threads.

Me, too! I got so tired of hearing the phone ring from different area codes several times a day that I unhooked the land-line phone, taking calls from family only from the cell phone, and from those with a need to reach me. Those telemarketers have high-jacked our phones! You have to pay a fee to have all stopped except for charities. NO!

The caller ID lets me know if I should return the call. No more of that infernal ring, ring, ringing.

get a call guardian telephone.

i have one, it cost about £20.

when a person calls, if the caller has to be on the white list to get through otherwise there are a number of possible responses from the phone:

1) there is a pre-recorded message which says "this number is blocked, please hang up." or something similar.
2) please leave a message.

or
3) the message will say "please give your name and then press #", when I pick up the phone the message will say "you have a call from.." then you hear the person say their name, i have a choice to block or accept this time or add to the whitelist.


it is a very good phone and i have not have a telesales for over a year.
