Anti- Telemarketing Methods

I have a variety of ways to get rid of telemarketers....

 

this is what i do to telemarketers

We have caller ID, but when they call I usually answer, then hang up that way I don't have to listen to them on the answering machine or hear the annoying ringing.

 

i have caller id so if its toll free i dont answer
somethimes they call private so i dont answer that either
but if it catches me off guard i tell them that im busy and stuff

 

Oooh, I love telemarketers. My favorite methods are to either A.) Ask them for their phone number so that I can call them during their dinner time and attempt to sell them some bogus product or B.) Say "I'll go get my mom" and leave the phone on the floor until they hang up.

 

One time, me and my older sister were bored and a telemarketer called, so we decided to answer it this time (Caller ID ftw)

My voice is pretty deep now, and so most people assume i am my father whenever i answer the phone. So he asked for greg and i went "Speaking, what would you like?" He goes off into his little telemarketing thing and after like 2 minutes (the man knew how to talk) i went "Hold on, could you hold on for a second?" *phone away from mouth* "Is that lettuce on my sandwich? Did you put f*cking lettuce on my sandwich? Where the hell is my bat? Bring it here, b*tch. You'd better not get any blood on it this time" *Get back on phone* " I'm so sorry sir, could you call back at a later date? Right now isn't a very good time for me."

 

Oh yeah! Thats hell what I do xDD. Only thing is, most of them that call me are Indians :3, so I put on a really good Indian accent and try to sell them something back (I used to live in India so it all works out :D). They get really pissed off its quite funny.

 

me and my cousin have so much fun with them...
we sit there pretending we're from their country and sit there telling them that we're related XDD

or we tell them never to call again or we'll eat their souls >8D

 

xDDD I do that one too. Or I usually just make a really loud noise with a blanket that resembles static. Usually works.

 

I usually pick up the phone and hang up...LOL.

 

oh one time i picked up the phone and it was a telemarketer and i was like this really angrily "YEAH?! YEAH?!" and they hung up :D

 

Say "Boy, did you call at the right time! my wife/gf was almost finished with me when YOU call!"

 

this once some guy with a weird accent called and offered a free trip to Disney World so i said ok
then he asked for my first and last name and i told him then he wanted to know my credict card # so i told my father (i was speaking cuz he doesnt know english but he knew wat was goin on) and he goes like: y do they need it, isnt it free? i was wondering the same thing so i asked him and he told me some wierd stuff that didnt make sense (i forgot wat it was) and we kept going back and forth till i hung up cuz i thought he was trying to steal my identity or my money

 

I like to use lines from The Exorcism of Emily Rose... preferable the Satanic tongues.
Or somtimes I speak to them in random Spanish.
Or I tell them: Your box of condoms is ready, thank you come again.(mainly with an Indian accent) :3
Or asking for their home number and I'll get back to them around the time they eat dinner.

Next time I'm going to tell them to not talk **** about Total and see what they have to say about that.

 

Well, when I encountered a lady trying to sell me bibles, I went along with it until the very end, where she asked for my address and I gave her my neighbours address. I bet they're fuming because of random bibles turning up at their place XDDD

 

lol that was funny :D

 

I just shout F*** you and hang up =D never called back......was it something i said xD

 

If it's the army or navy asking me to enlist, I just say "Sorry, I'm not suicidal". Except for the one time I get this one guy and he goes "Neither am I...that's why I make the phone calls. Ya wanna make phone calls?"

I got one once for my dad and continued to go along with it, pretending to be him with a sex change. Haven't gotten a message for him in about 3 months now. XD

 

I have Caller ID, so I have a number of ways to piss of telemarketers. This is my favourite way:
I put the phone right up to computer/stereo speakers. As I press "talk", I blast screamo music in the receiver. I made a couple of them curse. :D

 

I say wait i'll go get my dad, than i put the phone down and leave it there, once i forgot and came back 3 hours later and he was still on the phone waiting... lol it was halarious, i said, couldn't find him and than i hung up :)
