I like to make some shit up and get them to hang up. Olan Mills is this huge photography chain and they called my number trying to get ahold of the family that used to live here.



Representitive : So, Mr Johnson, if you and your family come in for an annual portrait, well do an extended session for 10% off our regular price. Thats half an hour extra with as many photos as we can snap.

Me: Oh. Umm, we don't really get our photos taken much since the fire.

Representitive: Oh....
Hang up

Before that, I would usually tell them to "hold on for a minute" and just leave the phone. I figured that the more time they spent waiting for me to come back, the fewer people they'd be able to annoy that day.

they always call my house from longdistance.

so the last time they called i was like 'no sorry he isn't in right now'

"whens the best time to call back then?"

"may i ask who's calling?"

"uh..dr. gordon" or somthing, i loled.

Its obvious its a telemarketer when they call. So you just tell them to hold on & you will get the person they want. Just leave the phone there for about 10 min & check to see if they are waiting.

im stupid for even answering the phone.

previously i had 56k, and never signed off, so the phone line was always busy. now with the dsl, they can call. everyone in this household has a cell phone which is much easier to give one number out than give two.

my dad gets red-faced everytime they call, and actually tries to tell them he's not interesting. he doesnt get that he can just hang up the damn phone.


Posted by jonSun on Nov-11-2005 19:16:

When you know its a telemarketer calling just answer & talk jibberish or talk in some bs language, they normally ate like wtf & hang up.


Posted by Krypton on Nov-11-2005 19:18:

im going to answer in german next time.

me: hallo?
tele: hello, is mr. ramos there.
me: ja, das ist mir.
tele: excuse me.
me: excuse you, entschuldigung, fick dich schuwer.
tele: im sorry sir, have a nice day.
me: du hast durchfall, haha. tschus scheissekopf.

I'm ashamed to admit it but I use to be on the other end of the line and the shit that I had to pull was unreal, like telling these poor bastards who had bad credit that they've been pre-approved for a credit card and all they had to do was shell out 200 bucks and can get a cc and a whole bunch of other goodies.


Posted by allcentury18 on Nov-11-2005 19:28:

those are poor telemarketers. i use to make people think we were old friends

That's the best example of bottom feeding I've ever heard! You're job was to sell false hope to poor people/deadbeats who already had bad credit and couldn't afford it thereby making their situation even worse. That's great! FUCK THE POOR!

Someone has to make the decision to get the credit card. No one has to say yesy...why don't those people simply say no?

I thought it was the sailors and IGK that called for your mom.

That only works in the U.S.

Whenever telemarketers call I always pretend to be underage and say that I cannot make any decisions regarding whatever it is that they want or if my parents aren't home and they ask me: When will they be in? I say around 12am to 6am. That always works because I figure by that time the telemarketer has already clocked out of the job which would make it impossible for them too call back. Since then I only get 1 or 2 phone calls a month.

I agree, they don't have to buy it, however, you must agree that the sales plan is less then ethical. I don't actually have a problem with it, if you can make it work then go for it. Just like all the lawyers out there representing people suing for injuries they don't have.... why not represent them, someone has to.
