The lady with thick accent asked if I had ever been a Dish Network customer and how many TVs I had. I told her I was at work and couldn't talk. She said she would call back.
They've been calling me EVERY day for the past 2 weeks. I finally answered today and he asked for me by name. Except, he couldn't pronounce it. I told him "Look, you guys call me EVERY DAY. I don't know who you are OR why you're calling, but you need to take me off your list IMMEDIATELY." He was very rude and offended, but told me they would remove me. We'll see!
Indian telecentre hawking various IT products. Called me trying to sell Baseline magazine. Told him to please stop calling this number. I don't hold much hope of stopping it though...
I have been getting these calls for three years now. I usually say I am not the person they are looking for, but ask them to hold while I go get him (me) They usually hold for a few mins. and hang up. But I still get the calls.
I have responded witht he following:
1. His cow died ( for the Hindus). When they ask for someone else i say they are all helping him bury his cow.
2. His dog died. See above.
3. He died, all the other engineers are at his funeral.
4. The company is out of businees, we are service liquidating the assets.
TELL THEM THEY ARE UNDER SCRUTINY FOR CALLING COMPANIES AND HANGING UP.
APPARENTLY THEY THINK THEIR JOB CONSISTS OF HANGING UP ON COMPANIES.
AFTER CALLING THAT NUMBER, THE TELEMARKETER TOLD ME SHE IS SIMPLY HANGING UP AND THEN TELLING PEOPLE THERE IS NO INFORMATION TO GIVE TO ANYONE IF THEY CALL.
SHE IS BEING INSTRUCTED BY HER MANAGEMENT.
"DO NOT CALL" Registry does NOT apply to businesses which is why they are calling.
Also: By calling from a foreign country they are not bound by the same laws as in USA.
Therefore, we are to ignore, hang up and do not curse nor conversate. Apparently they like hearing us.
So far, they are calling and hanging up on us. This is a good thing. They could be calling at night.
In a foreign country they can call us during the night.
NEWS FLASH!!! They are calling from New Jersey.
People in New Jersey are NOT required to finish high school.
MOST are not educated past the 9th grade. Be wary of them.
They do not understand english because they cannot read either.
Think:
Someone had to take the time to help them memorize their sales pitch (if any)
They are hanging up because they cannot read the sales pitch on their screen.
ALSO: They do not know how to type on their computer.
Throw them peanuts and make them do tricks. They are nothing else but circus bears.
Those idiots will do anything as long as somebody tells them what to do. It's their management in New Jersey - They pronounce it "NUUUU Jersaaaa" Beware of their heavy (Indian) accent. They pretend.
They want to pretend to live in Arizona with the rest of their retired idiots. Be careful of where you are.
As for me - I am a comedy act in a city near you.
YES this is a real problem telemarketer - they apparently do not get the point of calling people.
They would rather be stupid and sell the Nigeria myth than work a real job. Pity them...
