Sireen-reborn User ID: 537084 United States 10/29/2008 04:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Get them here all the time at work! I answer, I introduce myself and the company and then nothing.... so I put 'whoever' on hold until the line disconnects anything after 'but' is bullshit!

They're overseas telemarketers spoofing or using local numbers. When you sign up for Skype you can get a number anywhere. In my case, I had bought viag-r-a from an online pharmacy years ago. Serves me right, I've been getting calls for years. |

And they have to go through an automated switchboard before it rings at the desk too. When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" -Revelation 6:5, 6:6 |
DFW User ID: 15729 United States 10/29/2008 04:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know what it is.... The Telemarketers use a computer to dial about ten numbers at a time. They answer the first person that picks up, letting the other nine listen to dead air. Sometimes it will happen more than once to me before someone is actually on the line. I then tell them they are using an illegal dialing machine, and that I am complaining. As far as I know, this method is illegal. Now when I pick up the phone and no one is there right away, I hang up. |
