I worked as a telemarketer for 4 years. The best way to stop the calls is tell them to put you on their do not call list. By law, they are required to do so. The other stuff doesn't work. If you say the people of the house are not home or you are not interested, they will just keep calling you. The last part of the video is also wrong on the call times "8am." Telemarketers cannot call before 9am or after 9pm.
I love telemarketers. Every time they call me I act like a different person. One day I'm Asian speaking engrish. Another day I am a gay terrorist. Then a horny 70 year-old pedophile. A Mexican drunk. A bipolar black woman. A deaf German. An oversexed Japanese business woman. The possibility are endless. Hahaha!
What I like to do: Psychological manipulation and intentional mishearing their words.
When I don't feel like it: Wow I am very interested in your service and would like to discuss this further! Can you please call back on an even numbered Thursday between 9:80am and 11:80am?
@egcaligirl916 - I agree. I am always polite with telemarketers, because they're just doing their job in a bad economy, and no one wants to do that work if they can find something better.
you could do whats in the video, its pretty helpful. but what i would do to avoid getting all complicated is talk in a funny accent thats impossible to understand. it works every time! :D
i usually say that im only 14 and they automatically say ok im sorry. then they won call you ever again. of course you must sound like a young person for this to work. and i cant gaurantee that they wont call you back in like 4 years time
how about recording the sound of a porn -maybe in you cell-phone- and play it into the phone when they call...and then you just sigh "sorry, it's a bad time, i'm working" :D
the best thing to do: order a whopper, no onions, curly fries, coke, and some ice cream from them. they say they don't have it, say "NO! I WANT BURGER!!!" and hang up
"short of disgracing yoruself or getting arrested" - since when has abusing telemarketers got anyone arrested? they called YOU so have to accept whatever treatment they get, whether deserved or not.
I just start breathing heavy and not talk, and then, I ask "you've been a bad boy/girl, haven't you? *grunt and breathe even more heavily* ahh yeahhh! lemme get a towel!"
when one calls me, I always say, OMG I'm really interested, hold on a second.. and then I just leave the phone there. . and idk go to the store? take the dog for a walk.
am I alone or anyone else got this Visa card $200 gas coupon shit calling repeatedly. fucking operators called back 10 times one day after I said not interested from the very start
Sign up for Google Voice. They have a spam caller feature that block certain phone numbers like telemarketers. Sometimes you can set it up to only accept phone numbers on your contact list.
what this video isn't telling you is that telemarketers who work for charities have the right to call you and are exempt from the national do not call list. They also don't tell you that even if you use the disconnected phone message, some companies will just list it as "not interested" and call back again later.
They are right about telling the telemarketer to put you on their do not call list. That way they must put you on their list and won't bother you again.
What no one here seems to realize is that most telemarketing calls in the US don't originate from the US but rather, from countries with cheaper labour costs - US laws don't apply to these companies and they can do whatever the fuck they want.
those calls.... some times are Really i mean really F*ing annoying. Like sure they call from 8 Am, and 9 pm. But when you have like an overnight job and just came back home and got some sleep, 2 hours later, a random call wakes you up... Thats when you really want to kill them lol.
PUT YOUR NAME ON THE UNWANTED TELEMARKETER CALL LIST, I DID A SPEECH ON TELEMARKETERS I SHOULD KNOW. I'ts illegal for them to call you when your phone number is on the list.
Ive been called by this telemarketer 6 times in a week, so the next time they called, b4 they said anything i said FUCK OFF really loud on speakerphone and the guys said "okay sorry" they never called again :D
What I do is I answer the phone and say something that makes no sense at all.Like the last time I yelled in a sing song voice "I like cnnamin buns and cinnamin buns like me!!!!"
Almost good advice... I would not give a telemarketer my address. Some of them are very vindictive when you say you are not interested. Keep in mind many of them are paid on commission and work in boiler rooms.
I had a guy try to sell me magazines i said no and no to his manager some how they already had ALL my info BANK, ADDRESS... they signed me up for a few things and it came out ouf my account... the services that they signed me up with said they dont know who signed me up, that company covered their tracks well... and then caller id numeber goes right to voice mail and hangs up on you... NOT A REAL NUMBER I guess you can make your caller id anything.. 310-599-9122 so look out!!!
If it's a real person calling (not a bot), I like to have them go through their sales pitch while I concentrate on something else. Then I ask "I'm sorry, could you repeat that?"
too many steps. it's easier just to hang up and make it a law that ALL received phone calls under 30 seconds does not counted toward ur bill

I answer the phone "City morgue". I actually got one telemarketer who laughed and said "Good one".
Sometimes I'll hold the phone over the toilet and flush it.
Sometimes I fart into the phone.
One time I kept yelling into the speaker saying "Bob? Bob? Bob?".
Rarely I'll chat with them and ask how'll their day is going and offer them a product some then I sound like the telemarketer.
