I always, always, always lie and tell them I'm the owner. Then I tell them we don't accept credit card payments, never will, we believe in American cash, no credit. Hey, sometimes it's a slow day and I rather enjoy messing with telemarketers.
Lady on the other line asked to speak with "Jennifer." I told her she had the wrong number (no one here by that name). She then if she had XYZ (our company), and I said "yes, this is XYZ." She then asked to speak with the owner. I told her he wasn't here and offered to take a message. She said no so I hung up. Waste of our companies time to be taking these crappy calls....
Oh great. I do the same. Usually use a foreign indian accent...Get a mouth full of food and gargle on at them until they get frustrated and hang up....I would rather shovel [***] than do a low class job they do
