spling Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Here is how I deal with telemarketers. *ring ring* *pick up* "Hello?" "Hi, this is jim from WebOptimize, do you want more traffic to your website?" "Take me off your phone list." *click* Check out RuneScript and RuneTracker!

DaN Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Have you guys ever wondered how the telemarketer feels on the other side. Do they care about how we feel? If people wanted them to call they wouldent be hung up on if they dont want people hanging up on them or me putting them thru my ansewing service they just shouldent call. If you ring someone you should accept the fact that they could hang up on you. ~Dan64AuSince 27 Aug 2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hi, this is jim from WebOptimize, do you want more traffic to your website?" "Take me off your phone list." *click* Having been a telemarketer (unfortunately), I know that takes up to three months. I do live in Washington, however, so my wife and I often can use the 'Washington is a no second attempt state" if they try to snowball. These people *should* know the laws.

bs_johannes Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Do they care about how we feel? No, ofcourse not. You refer to "we" as in the group you belong to, the group of people who act like utter jerks when I call them. I'm polite, and if I get a "[bleep] off" or a prank as an answer, do you think I care if you feel upset about me calling you? Luckily, most people are actually not that rude, they just politely say that they are not interested, making my job a whole lot easier and almost endurable. Thank you for being so understanding.

DragonFirenze Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 My friend and i did a great one the other day, a telemarketer rang us asking for me to complete a survey so my friend started moaning. He got louder and louder and louder while this person was trying to read questions. Eventually it got so loud that i started having trouble hearing her so i put the reciever to my mouth and screamed "SHUT THE **** UP OR ILL CUT THE OTHER ONE OFF!!!". The telemarketer hung up :lol: Lvl 80 construction.

Barihawk Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 The polite thing I use when Jehovah's Witnesses show up: "Good afternoon sir, have you been saved?" "Why, yes I have." "Really, may we come in and discuss your faith?" *I whip out Bible* "Nah, how about we do this out here." One of them usually looks at his watch and says "err, we must be off now." My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers.

How2PK Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I usually am very friendly towards Jehova Witneses (sp?). I just say I'm not interested in a 30 minute dialogue in the cold, and I just take a flier. I almost threw a bucket of water over them one time though, they came twice in less than an hour, but I decided to behave myself.

Trip Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Today I got a call from a telemarketer, he started off by saying (just after I said hello) I'm not sure if I can help you and your family and went on to speak about security doors. When I told him I wasn't interested he continued to try and sell me the doors, so I used the suggestion earlier in the thread and said "How do I know this isn't a recording?" The guy replied that if it was a recording he wouldnt be replying to me. I then realised he had beaten me so I hung up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A denomination of Christianity who have a notoriety for door-knocking more than most other religious sects. They're more of a cult.. I would never declare them to be a denomination of Christianity. Its also inconsiderate to publicly label things as cults where people who practice it could read.

Kielmccaul75 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Ive actually done this. Reply to whatever questions they ask, in any manner you see fit. While you are answering the questions talk REALLY quietly so they press the phone against their ear and listen really hard. End the call with an ear splitting yell or scream.
