The telemarketer hung up on me :(

[arsonpaintball06]

my friends mom got a call to join sum sort of biking or athletic club once.......they talked all about it and then finally she said "i'd love to join, but i have no legs" i guess they didnt have much to say after that.......(my friend told me this, but i dont think he lied.... still is funny)

Check NJ law buddy! I can sue them!

Telemarketers!

It never felt so good to live in Jersey.

A friend of mine is a telemarketer for a timeshare travel agency thingy...she mentioned that they are not actually allowed to take you off the list unless you specifically say "Don't call me/here again". If you yell at them , or just hang up...they will call back. I assume it's similar with some, if not all, telemarketing firms.

Illinois has a do not call list, combine that sucker with caller id and we never get any of them around these parts anymore. Kind of makes me sad, they are fun to mess with.

me:hello
them:hello sr......
me:one sec.let me put you on hold [than i put my radio near the phone and walk away]


they have never called me back but i'm ready for them

What ever happened to the national "Do Not Call List"?

[ramennoodles]

I've done a lot of fun stuff to these people. One of my fav's in saying something along the line of "tell me all about it" and then just putting the phone down. It's best if you have speaker phone. Before I got on the do not call list I used to do this and see which telemarketers would think I was still there the longest.

This also works if you say "can you hold on for one second..." and then just not come back.

yeah i do the "let me go get my dad...." never pick it back up.

[UltimatePaintballer]

i have to say, if telemarketers are hanging up on you....thats sad

[Commissar_Loki]

Hmm, try selling them a used fridge. Usually works for me.

[Creative Mayhem]

Not sure if it's available in the US, but there is a thing you can buy at Radio Shack, called the Telezapper(or something) it basically emits a tone just after you pick up the phone, this tone will trigger a hangup, or some sort of feedback that makes the computer dialed telemarketing calls think that you number in invalid.

Nifty little device if you ask me... I wonder if it works with credit card companies too

[totalknockout]

them hello sir how are you
me fine i was just going to kill myself (crying)

Make something up... like you have no money because of a heroin addiction or something.. I live for phone calls like that at work...
