A young man called our place yesterday - asking for Carmen. I said that there was NO Carmen at this number. So he paused for a moment - and then started trying to tell me something. I said to him, stop talking - I told you there was no Carmen at this number. I wound up yelling at him - and then slammed down the phone. It didn't help - it only raised my blood pressure. I am sure that there is some nice warm corner of hell waiting for that young man. I HATE telemarketers. Let them find some other way of earning a living that by torturing the rest of us.
Next time, I need to stay calm - and say - so how can I help you - while at that exact same time - hitting the button to disconnect the call.
Heh Heh Heh

I just got a call from this number: the person spoke for about a minute in a very fast language that sounded arabic or something like that. No clue. SOunds like he was in mid-conversation with someone else.
i got 3 calls from this number within a 4-hour span this afternoon. each time, i said "hello" and the caller hung up on me without saying a word. it comes up "international gateway" on my caller id. i am so glad for this board -- it has helped me to identify many mysterious calls as coming from telemarketers. they should be against the law. i don't think our founding fathers intended for "free speech" to extend to this kind of harassment.
