Telemarketers????

[Raisedin305 5,000+ posts]

I get tired of this shit, they call my house non-stop. From early in the morning till late at night sometimes. I'm tired of saying "No Thanks" I need to make a statement so they know not to call anymore. Calling early in the morning waking me up. Let me get one of those bastards home phone #'s, I'll call them up every 10 min between 3 am and 5 am and see how they like it.

its their job.

i had to do it for a while because it was the only thing that paid me that kind of money for an easy job.

im sorry you have them call back so much, but please realize - theres nothing they can do but do their job. they are people too and they have children and lives to pay for.

sorry about the calls though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

fok telemarketers. F@ggot *** mother ****ers. I really hate when they try to tell me what I want instead of just saying ok thanks. I love the seinfeld episode where he says "Tell ya what I was just about to leave. Let me get your home number and I'll call you later on. Oh what, you dont like strangers calling to bug you at home?" meh or something like that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

May they all burn in hell //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif.

My house is sided and not a single broken window, yet they call everyday asking if I need it done //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif.

YOU CAN STILL GET ON THE DO NOT CALL LIST???

Glad to hear you are no longer one of them.

They could always quit and find a job. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

What percentage of calls that you made actually ended in sales?

The last couple times when they call I'll ask them if they are a telemarketer. These bastards try to talk there way around it without answering my question, so I cut them off and ask again, they say no this is a courtesy call. I say "a courtesy call from a telemarketer that won't be calling here no more....click.

Last week I asked a guy if he was a telemarketer and he got pissed and said "goodbye" in a loud tone. That was the fastest I'd ever gotten rid of one of those bastards. Kind of made me happy knowing that I got to one of them the same way they get to me. Then I hate when those bastards call and you hang up on them, then go to pick up the phone ~10 secs later and the connection hasn't hung up and they are still on the line talking. I had one of those today.

We got the "telezapper." a month after we got it, we didnt really get anymore calls.

there is a site where u can register ur phone number so telemarketers dont call. I did it over a year ago and since that they call less often. Before I would get abou 20 telemarketer calls a day now about 1. I think it was http://www.donotcallregistry.com something like that.It's free and its a goverment site.

My house got on the do not call list right when it came out and we haven't had a call since. It works, sign up now if you didn't already.

With my house phone we have this block where if you have an unavailable number you have to punch in a number youre calling from. It was free from our provider. It got rid of around 99% of the calls. Most telemarketers dial automaticlly not with a phone pad so they cant enter a number. I did it for a month or so and hated it badly.

Yes! the link is: https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx just sign up, and after like 30 days, if they call you tell them you are on the Federal do-not-call list, and if they call back it is an FCC violation with a nasty fine if you can get someone in the government to stop bombing people's camels long enough to enforce it.

That's not the point, the point is to get them to stop calling so I don't get woken up or have to stop what I'm doing for a b/s phone call.

when i was a telemarketer a few years ago...i loved calling people like you//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif you get so worked up and mad its hilarious...especially when your threatening to kick there *** but yet have not even a clue of where they are calling from:hilariou:

You don't know what you're talking about. I've never threatened to kick there ***. Besides, must be extremely exciting to get cussed out 25-50% of the time. That sounds like a real fun job. Don't play it off like it didn't bother you, getting cussed out or yelled at bothers everyone in some kind of way, especially since it's a job. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif :laugh: //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
