Rant: TELEMARKETERS
 
I'm supposedly on the don't call list but they keep calling. I have the same telemarketer calling my house on multiple occasions and today, I told him not to call anymore. Instead of saying thank you, he fucking says "Yes, DO CALL?" I'm like, "NO, Don't CALL" and he's like "OKAY, I will call!" and hangs up on me. what a douche.

Edit: Number was 1-800-525-9241. A quick search on google, and it seems that these people claim they're a fundraiser for xxx organization etc etc.

Don't ask them not to call back just fuck with them. Ask them what their wearing and tell them you're rubbing your nipples to the sound of their voice.

fuck with them, much more enjoyable

use the magic 'harassment' word, t does a damned good job of shutting them up and getting them to stop calling.

Dragon-88 02-10-2009 02:24 PM

LoL...

But yeah, you're on the "please call list", not the "do not call list". :p

tool001 02-10-2009 02:58 PM

cause do no call list is only for canada, telemarketers sell this list to oversees marketing companies, thats how u get calls being on that list.

Yah.. that number called me yesterday. I just hit the ignore button. They must be using VOIP. It's the same goddamn, uppity motherfucker that says, "Congratulations!" each time.

i get calls from 866 309 7623 sometimes up to 5 times a day. ive signed up for every do not call list i could find. and i get calls from all over the states: chicago, oregon, washington, ohio, michigan fuck. time to start messing with these assholes

NimbeeTT 02-10-2009 04:33 PM

we used to get them all the time, especially those ones with the fax and the annoying beeping noises. and they're ALWAYS IN THE FKING MORNINGS.
whats more irritating is when you pick up and the guy on the other end has a huge indian or chinese accent (no offense guys).
we just switched from rogers to shaw recently, and we havent gotten any at all (:

Fafine 02-10-2009 05:05 PM

the fax ones are the most annoying...

as for the telemarketers just fuck with them or if you're not gonna get billed for it just tell them to hang on one second and leave the phone there n do something else- they'll hang up after 5mins =D

shenmecar 02-10-2009 05:09 PM

anyone with Shaw Digital Phone can use the call blocking feature.

just call *60 from your phone and activate it.

ive blocked about 9 telemarketers bastards call me at 9 in the morning! (i usually sleep till 1)

!SG 02-10-2009 05:28 PM

*grabs cell phone, cues mega orgy.mp3 ringtone"

they still call, but might as well make it fun.

i always get calls saying, extra car warranty, cruise ship, always always always some fucking china long distance company, completely love fucking with them...=)

Mr.HappySilp 02-10-2009 09:40 PM

I always tell them on one in the hous eis over 18 right now. They usually ask when they will be back. I always tell them anytime, could be this sec, next min, next hour. They usually get the hint and never call back.

Has anyone tried this site? It's supposed to be a mass list of what you can opt out of I think.

I didn't catch the entire segmen on tv. It was mentioned on one of those computer shows that's on CTV I think.

syee 02-10-2009 10:48 PM

I only regularly get 2 telemarketers calling - one is from Telus trying to pimp Telus TV out to me. For some crazy reason, they call twice in one day. I've told them they've called twice and been telling them I'm not interested for the last year but they never seem to stop calling. Now I just ignore the 310-xxxx numbers since it's always them.

The other is the radio survey. To be "nice" I told the last guy I was busy (I was since they called during working hours and I was working). Dude got snarky and said "if you're busy, why did you bother to pick up the phone?" in a condescending voice. However, before I could spit out any smartass remark, he had hung up the phone.

tamiya_s2000 02-11-2009 12:07 AM

um where's that sound clip of that 1 where he went "hey you just called the murder scene of..." then i lol'd
too lazy to search youtube but its there
