I really like the idea presented by mk & since I used to deal with IRATE cx's as my day job, I really know how to fool someone into thinking I feel 1 way, while I actually feel another!These [***] call me daily. I live in Ontario & usually get a call from them by 10:15 am E.S.T. Since I am off tomorrow, I am going to take mk`s advice & string these fools along. In fact since I only work 3 nights a week (damn recession...Anyone hiring..LOL) I am going to do this DAILY & see what sort of records I can break, as far as how long I can keep THEM on the line! I dunno what they have for a long distance company, but Instead of wasting my energy getting angry at these dumb [***], I will attempt to turn the tables, & have some FUN with it! I wish I would have thought of this or read MK`s post earlier, as the idiots JUST CALLED...Hence the reason I am here right now! I dunno if you guys are in a similar situation as me (alot of free time ``UNWANTED``), but if we can get enough of us to do what I am going to do, it would accomplish 2 things at least. 1)We get some FREE ENTERTAINMENT & 2)By keeping someone on the line with us, we are preventing them from calling someone else during our time on the phone with them, like an elderly person, who doesn`t know better & could get scammed! So if ya have the time, have some FUN! Turn the tables on these jerkoffs!
Rachel from "Cardholder Services" says "Please press 1 to lower your interest rates" I pressed 1 and the representative asked "Did you press 1 to lower your interest rate?" I said that I just pressed 1 to speak with a real person...."click"
All of these complaints, will it ever stop these COWARDS in Florida from calling?
I'm sure it's not legitimate. I just got the call too. If they represented an actual financial institution, they would have addressed themselves as that company's Cardholder Services. There is no company that just goes by that name. That's just a tip off that it's a rip off. They do the same thing with "car warrantees".
I get calls from these telemarketers all the time. If you pick up and press 1 then you should pretend to be interested and give them all fake information so it wastes their time. The trick is either don't ever answer it or keep them on line so they are the ones getting upset and the best way is to fake them out, take your time getting information and just make stuff up slowly.
