Here's the answer to all our prayers. I found this on a site I posted a telemarketer's number at. I tried it and it WORKS! I put the tones at the beginning of my phone greeting about three months ago and in the last three weeks have had "ZERO" calls. Whover posted that "THANK YOU, THANKI YOU". Here's what I found:
Telemarketers almost exclusively use autodialers to make their calls. One out of a thousand will have live reps doing the dialing. When these dialers connect (you answer the phone) they first listen for any tones generated. If no tones are detected they then transfer the call to one of the reps in a call center. If the autodialer hears the 3 beeps from dialing a "DISCONNECTED" number, the number that was just dialed is automatically "REMOVED" from their list. Below is a link that has this tone plus the verbal message. You DO NOT need the verbal message. Download or copy the "DISCONNECTED" MP3 or WAV file to your desktop. Create or change the greeting you have when someone calls you and you're not available. At the VERY BEGINNING of your message place the 3 tones (NOT THE VOICE MESSAGE) then continue with your usual or normal greeting. The autodialer will hear the tones and BINGO, your number will be removed since they think it's a disconnected number. DONE. In a few weeks you will be removed from all or most of the lists. Of course you may have to explain the tones to the callers you DO want to speak to but that's a small tradeoff. Pass this info on to anyone you know that gets junk calls or even help post this on these websites. If you continue getting calls after reading this, it's your "OWN" fault! END JUNK CALLS.
Great way to represent your company there buddy. Just in case nobody has noticed, your establishment will not get phone calls answered, yet alone get you a payment if you keep harassing at work, home and cell. Seriously. People will pay when they can.. We will call you.
U dumb twit is the loser! If you weren't you would have better things to do with your time then to make comments on a site about Drive Financial....hmmmmm, you must have gotten a call OR you are one of low down LOSERS who can't get a REAL job.
DriveTeam? Nice handle... Anyways, would you like to meet somewhere? I would love for you to be able to express you feelings to me in person. Not hiding behind that IP address or re-routed phone number. These fools have no reason to be calling me repeatedly, so keep these type comments to yourself. Or let me' know when/where you want to tell me in person. I will be looking for your answer you [***].
FedUp? Is that your name? Well they are probably "fed-up" too with people not paying their FREAKIN' bills. And if you you want to talk to DriveTeam, be careful, he might not be alone.
