When I get a call from these jackwagons, I answer politely. I then throw the biggest potato chip in my mouth and crunch as loudly as I possible can with my mouth open. Then I start yelling at someone who isn't even there, start yawning while I am talking, flush the toilet and walk away. I even hit the smoke alarm button to get it to go off. Usually, 99% of the time they hang up. Some don't even call my house back because of it. Works like a charm. I figure if I can't get it to stop by asking them nicely or filing complaints, then I might as well be as rude as I possibly can. The Whoopie cushion machine works well also.
Hey Folks!! You got this ALL WRONG!
Remember the saying, “Time is Money”?
Beat them at their own game. If you get an actual person, keep them on the line as long as you can. This may take you 2 to 5 minutes, but I’ll guarantee they will remove you from their list.
Play DUMB and be a YES person so they think you’re a sucker!
They ask for your credit card? Tell them you have to get your wallet in the other room, don’t leave them holding for more than 15 secound, or they will hang up and keep calling. NEXT:
Give them your credit card number, but mix up a few numbers. Then ask them to read it back to you. After they do that say it’s wrong. Give it to them again, and again mix up some other numbers, Talk slow and take your time.
After 2 or 3 times of repeating the numbers, they will know you are screwing with them and hang up.
Keep in mind they are paying for the phone call by the minute, plus they are paying someone to get your info. “Time is Money”
They will remove you from their “Do Not Call List”, because you are costing them money!
As for our government, you can count on them to Collect Taxes and give it away, that’s about it!
Like others, I'm on the Do Not Call list but keep on getting these unwanted marketing calls. I urge you to do what I do - report these people to the Do Not Call complaint register. It only takes about 60 seconds to do this. If the Do Not Call people are bombarded with complaints, they will go after these guys.
