How to Stop Telemarketing Calls

17Jul2008 Filed under: idiots Author: dariana

I swear, we didn’t have this in Romania, but since we entered the European Union, they’re started!!! I’m so mad! NO, I DON’T WANT TO WASTE 3 MINUTES (actually more than 15 if you stay and chat) OF MY LIFE SO THAT YOU CAN INTRODUCE ME YOUR OFFER! Your offer sucks anyway if this is how you promote it. No money for the TV commercial, ha? Fuck off!

Anyhow, here’s how you can LEGALLY stop telemarketing calls. Hope it’s useful. It is for me, heheh!

Man, that video was hilarious (i.e. #5)…u gotta love the telemarketer…
I actually put all my numbers under ‘Do Not Call’…so far, so good…but I do get calls from my banks w/ offers…So here’s what I do when unwanted callers pop in (actual conversation):
T: Is Ms. Aleera Smith home?
Me: What is this about?
T: I am …from…and I would like to talk to her.
ME: Sorry, she’s NOT home.

Or just simply:
T: Is Ms. Aleera Smith home?
Me: NO!

Of course they have no calls, but they take the numbers from various companies we sign agreements with, even if we do not sign that we agree to be called. Idiots!

I used to hang up, but they kept disturbing me, one call a day, then two calls a day. They were probably due to have a certain number of calls or something. In this case, i started fighting back, most of the times I was asking what their name was, where did they get my number and stuff like that. They’ve stopped calling when I threatened them.
