Usually i just try and talk them out of their job.

Ask them about their personal life, confront them on whether they ACTUALLY want to be calling people up for a living. Most of them seem to want to quit after talking to me.

jimmy Says:July 13th, 2007 at 3:07 pm
its really dumb how most of the telemarketing calls i recieve are from a recorded voice, not an actuall person. this is of topic but its funny to go to a retail store like walmart of academy, go to a empty register and hit the page button and say something like “attention customers please get in an orderly file and get the ^&^$^ out of the store”.

Jo-Bets Says:July 14th, 2007 at 6:20 pm
Say, “One moment, please.” Then set the phone down and leave it there for a long, long time. When the tape recording announcing, “If you’d like to make a call…” comes on, you’ll know they’ve hung up.

Another: Wait for the first break, and if the monologue goes on too long, interrupt with a polite, “Excuse me, I must tell you, I am honored that you called ME. Clearly you;ve told me about something very important to you, and that’s a fine personal commitment

“I appreciaye that out of the humdreds of names you must have listed, it was YOU who called ME. It is thoughtful of you and I won’t forget your kindness. I am deeply sorry not to be able to participate. Convey my feelings to your staff, won’t you? And again, thank you.”

Then, hang up the phone.

when they get through with there pitch, ask them for their home number so you can call them while they have just set down to a hot meal so you can ruin their meal.

Don’t be a jerk. Just politely say you’re not interested

Ok these always work
- act like a kid crying (snuffel) and say im very sorry but my parents just died plez **scream–NEVER** call back
- act like ur in a jungle say –hello omg i got reception..im in the jungle…(scream)ah theres a LION then crack sumtin close to the phone and yell HELPP then hang up

Mitchel Says:August 11th, 2007 at 8:53 pm
This one’s to Carrie… thoes are the most retarded suggestions iv ever herd of! If u dont want a tellemarketer, all u have to do is call their number and tell them to take u off their list! Fred’s right, why do u have to be a jerk?! Just be polite!

Jim Says:August 17th, 2007 at 12:41 pm
You can tell it’s an unwanted call if you have caller ID. What I do is answer “Harrow(sound chinese) when they ask for you or whoever tell them ” (name they asked for) no here you stop calling( again sound chinese)” absouloutly hilarious especially when they apologize for bothering you LOL

Marcia Says:August 26th, 2007 at 11:14 pm
So being a bigot is what it takes to get rid of telemarketers!

CG Says:August 28th, 2007 at 4:47 pm
Pretend to be a Detective and that your at the scene of a Murder and ask the telemarketer how he came to know the deceased. Ask for his details etc.. and that he’ll be contacted in a few days.

save em Says:September 6th, 2007 at 11:06 pm
Ask them if they are saved, tell them Jesus loves them and if they can hold on a minute you will get your bible because you want to read them a few chapters in it and promise them that you will listen to them right after they listen to you! — if they agree, good luck, your on your own!

RB Says:September 7th, 2007 at 12:37 pm
There is a foreign pharmacy that calls our business daily. I have tried everything to get rid of them. Examples: “Jamie is no longer here. Jamie does not work here anymore. Please take us off your call list. PLEASE take us off your call list. Jamie died. Jamie says you’re the worst boyfriend she ever had and she hates you. I want to order birth control pill, I’m Jamie (I’m a man) I want to order female hormones. Please stop calling here. Jamie is not here any more. There is no one here named Jamie. Let’s say her name together and summon her spirit. Incoherent noises and screeching.” You name it, it doesn’t work. Never order from an online pharmacy, they will hound you to your grave.

tickedoff Says:September 13th, 2007 at 3:13 pm
go to www.whocalled.us
once there enter in the phone number that called. you can file a complaint there if you are on the dnc list. you can also see how many others and for what the number who called you is calling other people for. that way when you answer the phone to tell them to stop calling you know what they might have to say and can let them know to not call you again.

Sam Says:September 15th, 2007 at 9:01 pm
use a language that they might not understand, most people know Spanish, so that doesn’t work anymore. OR, you can just say “hey do you know that I’m on the Do Not Call list? and its a federal offense to call me?” I don’t know its a really a federal offense, but it will shake them up. Say it with a big goofy smile on your face so it sounds as if you are being nice to them. Irony is a funny, funny thing.

sandy Says:September 24th, 2007 at 7:34 pm
my mom told one that I ran away- the lady appologized and my mom said “I am glad the witch is gone”. I was right there. If they are looking for my dad, she accuses they of being my father’s girlfriend- it works

JT Says:September 24th, 2007 at 11:49 pm
I’ve got a simple solution at work. I don’t answer outside calls. I get one or two business related calls per week from outside the building. They leave a message and I call them back. Inside calls display the person’s name or extension so I answer all of those calls.

Matt Says:September 29th, 2007 at 8:45 am
Pretend you are an FBI agent and that “this is a hostage situation” and say something like “OK, where do you want to make the exchange?” They will be confused, and then say “You know what I’m talking about! Where do you want us to drop the money? You said you would call back at [current time] and would give us further instructions on where to drop the money in exchange for their freedom! Please, we all just want you to release that family!” If they havn’t hung up already, hold the phone about arm’s length away from you and shout “Sir, I’ve completed the trace!” Then put the phone back on your ear and say in a smug joice “Weve got you now [optional adjectives]! In a few minutes there will be SWAT teams surounding the building! And you’re going to be put away for a long, long time!” Then hang up. Unfortunatly this only works for poeole calling from inside the US. It might be adaptable….

Rick Says:October 1st, 2007 at 11:03 am
Perhaps the easiest way to get them off of your back and never call back again is to simply tell them that they have the wrong number. Usually it’ll go something like this.

You: Hello?
Operator: Good Afternoon! May I please speak to Mr… Doe?
You: Oh I’m afraid you have the wrong number.
Operator: ….oh, well is this 555-555-5555?
You: Yes, but Mr. Doe doesn’t live here.
Operator: Okay, well I’m sorry, thank you and have a good day.
You: Goodbye

Sometimes they might say, well this offer can still apply to you! In which case, I’ll usually just tell them straight up that I’m not interested and if persistent, I’ll say something like “I realize that the offer is very nice, but I’m just not willing nor interested enough to make the commitment.

If I’m avoiding a call that I ultimately need to answer, aside from not picking up the phone, I’ll answer and tell the operator something like this.

You: Hello?
Operator: Hi, this is Dave from (Insert company here; such as a credit card company). May I talk to Mr. John Doe please?
You: Oh well he isn’t here at the moment, can I take a message?
Operator: No that’s fine, but do you know when he’d be available?
You: (Keeping in mind when you feel like dealing with it) Well, he’s away until Friday, but he should be able to answer the phone then.
Operator: Alright, thanks for your time. Have a good day!
You: Alright, goodbye.

Pretty much, that’s how I avoid those.

Mr Know It All Says:October 23rd, 2007 at 11:58 pm
I don’t hate on people making a living. But when Joe Call Center Telemarketer calls at 9:30pm or 8:00am. It’s time to bring out the guns. See pranks above.

Carl Says:October 28th, 2007 at 2:11 pm
The most hilarious one I’ve witnessed was by my co-worker:
Mike: Hello?
Telemarketer: Hello, is this (insert name)? I have a great offer for you…..
Mike: Thats great, listen, I’m going to put you on speaker phone, we’re having poker night, I want you to bark like a dog for one minute and then tell us what you’re selling and we’ll discuss whether or not it’s a good deal. You can listen if you want. (puts the phone on speaker) Ok say hi to everyone….And you can start…Now…
Telemarketer: Hello???
Mike: Go ahead, bark….
Telemarketer: Sir, I don’t have time for this…
Mike: Will I guess I don’t have time to listen to you either…CLICK

Jeanne Says:November 3rd, 2007 at 9:41 pm
Do these all three of these things and you will not receive any calls from telemarketers, politicians or charities:
1. Eliminate your land line service. Call AT&T,SBC or whomever it is that sends your monthly bill and get completely rid of it. You will no longer get a bill from them.
2. Get a cable INTERNET (not phone)line. (You will now be getting a bill from them, and it might be about $60/month.)You cannot use DSL or a FAX machine because they require a land line, you will have a cable connection instead, which is faster.
3. Either: A.)Get Vonage and ask for a new number and DO NOT PUT IT ON YOUR CHECKS. (Of course you do not want the old number anymore, everyone already has it!)(You will now also be getting a bill from Vonage. It’s $25/month for unlimited calls.) Don’t forget to tell your friends and family, school office…anyone you actually want to hear from, that your number has changed. They will not get a message when they dial the old number…
Or: B.)Make do with only cell phones.

If you do all of this, you will not have to register with a “do not call list” or anything else. Just be smart, obviously, don’t give out your phone number on prize entry forms or stuff like that.

OK…I did all this and it worked for me. But I knew my mother would not be able to do all this and I was worried about her as she is elderly. I got her a little device known as a “tele zapper”. I don’t remember the price anymore, I bought it years ago, but it was pretty affordable. It eliminates calls that are computer dialed. This is most telemarketers. That means you will still be bugged by some calls but she told me she got far less unwanted calls with it.

whatever Says:November 17th, 2007 at 10:42 pm
here is what you should REALLY do……. as soon as they start talking … interupt and YELL in the phone for about 20 seconds nonstop…… VERY LOUD.

Repeat as nessesary if they do call back.
YOU’RE WELCOME IDIOTS !

Amanda Says:November 19th, 2007 at 9:09 pm
actually all you have to do is call your phone provider and tell them that you do not want your phone number listed at all and you want it private name private number..By doing this they cannot look your number up and you are telemarketer free.. My number has been private for three years now and I have not gotten one call from telemarketers and or surveyed…

Milz Says:December 7th, 2007 at 6:13 am
well lately hanging up when you here the second ringing has worked. for the other ones, i’ve actually listened to a full call and said sorry no lol. another one, i pretended to be really young or not well and said that daddy and mommy are not here yet,they bought it lol.

RoMoraes Says:December 10th, 2007 at 3:57 pm
A couple of weeks ago, at around 9 pm I got a call from a telemarketer that had this amazing deal for me: 2 nights in a 5 star hotel + meals and enterteniment for 2 people.
It sounded like the telemarketer was in total ecstasy as he spoke, as this was the most wonderful thing that could happen in my life. So I asked him if he had received the same gift as he was offering me, she said no, but that I was very lucky.
So in a very exited voice I told him that I was giving HIM that gift. I told him I would be honored to have him and a date of his choice go to the “no-catch-2-nights-in-a-5-star-hotel-plus-meals-and-enterteniment-for-two” in my place.
There was a moment of silence and then he proceeded to tell me to go “F” myself and tell me what kind of a “B” he thought I was .
What an ungrateful individual… lol

Sandy Says:December 13th, 2007 at 1:37 pm
I appreciate that telemarketers are only trying to make a living like the rest of us, so this is what I say,

Me: Interrupting their pitch…Thank you, I’m not interested
TM: Continues pitch
Me: Hello, Hello (This has never failed to get their attention as they seem to think I can’t hear them LOL)
TM: Hello?? Yes???
Me: First, please remove my phone number from your list. Second, I’ve told you I’m not interested. I don’t want to be rude to you so I’m going to ask you to say good-bye now. If you continue I’ll forget that I don’t want to be rude and I WILL hang up on you.
TM: if they continue, I simply hang up the phone. If they say good-bye, I wish them a nice day.

I think this has to be one of the worst jobs in the world. I can’t imagine how desperate a person must be to work in the TM industry.

Clive Says:December 29th, 2007 at 4:18 am
I try to start “phone sex” with them by saying, “So then…. tell me…. what color socks do you have on?”

If I’m feeling more sensible, I just tell them from the beginning that I never agree to, nor buy anything from unexpected callers… “so let’s not waste each others time, eh?” Then wish them a nice day/evening.

i know telemarketers are just trying to earn a living like the rest of us, and i DO feel sorry for them, cuz if u think about it, they sorta have to put up with a lot of ****, u know?

but when they start calling at 6:00 AM on a saturday? u bet ur a$$ i’m going to be a little bitchy. I suggest any of the above pranks, i’ve tried most of them and they are quite effective

My personal fave is just hanging up before they say anything….or telling them that u know where they live and if they ever call back, they’re in for it.

I only prank obvious scam artists (i’ve been called by them before) and those that call really bad times. Anyway my personal favorite is as follows…

TM: Hello, may I speak to Mr. Smith?
Me: Mr. Smith isn’t here right now. In fact no one’s here right now.
TM: Well then, may I speak with you?
Me: I don’t live here, I’m just here for the Stereo and the
silverware and I’m out the door. (CLICK)

Gabi Says:February 5th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Um, just hang up .__.
you don’t have make up stupid things or stories or anything just say
“please stop calling, thanks, have a nice day.”
Problem solved :]

OCLiu Says:February 6th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
well, the being nice and telling them not to call again doesn’t work… I have been REALLY rude to then, as in racist and sexual offensive and they keep calling, same guys. they seem to like it

pharmacy calls alot Says:February 11th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Being nice does nothing at all when it comes to some. drugs america calls a minimum of 5 times a day saying the same thing. Have asked nicely to stop calling and they just hang up and call again later.
I just try to have fun with them, keep them on the line as long as possible, get them to talk dirty to me, give them fake info. Nothing will stop them from calling so make it fun. I talk in my best India accent(that is where they are calling from) Last one asked me what meds I am taking. I responded with “Nothing but weed, can you get me some?”

i am a telemarketer Says:February 12th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
i am a telemarketer so this isnt funny but its factually correct. If anyone calls you just say you are not the decision maker (ie: you are tenants) so you are not in a position to make any decisions. You will be closed down on the database as not eligible and as we all share data off the whole circuit in 3 months. its an insiders trick of the trade- i guarantee you that no telemarketers get calls

actually all you have to do is call your phone provider and tell them that you do not want your phone number listed at all and you want it private name private number..By doing this they cannot look your number up and you are telemarketer free.. My number has been private for three years now and I have not gotten one call from telemarketers and or surveyed?

A couple of weeks ago, at around 9 pm I got a call from a telemarketer that had this amazing deal for me: 2 nights in a 5 star hotel + meals and enterteniment for 2 people.
It sounded like the telemarketer was in total ecstasy as he spoke, as this was the most wonderful thing that could happen in my life. So I asked him if he had received the same gift as he was offering me, she said no, but that I was very lucky.
So in a very exited voice I told him that I was giving HIM that gift. I told him I would be honored to have him and a date of his choice go to the ?no-catch-2-nights-in-a-5-star-hotel-plus-meals-and-enterteniment-for-two? in my place.
There was a moment of silence and then he proceeded to tell me to go ?F? myself and tell me what kind of a ?B? he thought I was .
What an ungrateful individual? lol

I appreciate that telemarketers are only trying to make a living like the rest of us, so this is what I say,

Me: Interrupting their pitch?Thank you, I?m not interested
TM: Continues pitch
Me: Hello, Hello (This has never failed to get their attention as they seem to think I can?t hear them LOL)
TM: Hello?? Yes???
Me: First, please remove my phone number from your list. Second, I?ve told you I?m not interested. I don?t want to be rude to you so I?m going to ask you to say good-bye now. If you continue I?ll forget that I don?t want to be rude and I WILL hang up on you.
TM: if they continue, I simply hang up the phone. If they say good-bye, I wish them a nice day.

I think this has to be one of the worst jobs in the world. I can?t imagine how desperate a person must be to work in the TM industry.

I try to start ?phone sex? with them by saying, ?So then?. tell me?. what color socks do you have on??

If I?m feeling more sensible, I just tell them from the beginning that I never agree to, nor buy anything from unexpected callers? ?so let?s not waste each others time, eh?? Then wish them a nice day/evening.

pretend your in love with them?.it?s mean but it works.

i know telemarketers are just trying to earn a living like the rest of us, and i DO feel sorry for them, cuz if u think about it, they sorta have to put up with a lot of ****, u know?

but when they start calling at 6:00 AM on a saturday? u bet ur a$$ i?m going to be a little bitchy. I suggest any of the above pranks, i?ve tried most of them and they are quite effective

My personal fave is just hanging up before they say anything?.or telling them that u know where they live and if they ever call back, they?re in for it.

I just chant SATAN SATAN SATAN until they hang up. Works everytime.

Ravel Says:January 30th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Tell him/her you love him/her then kiss the phone. They?ll hang up.

I only prank obvious scam artists (i?ve been called by them before) and those that call really bad times. Anyway my personal favorite is as follows?

TM: Hello, may I speak to Mr. Smith?
Me: Mr. Smith isn?t here right now. In fact no one?s here right now.
TM: Well then, may I speak with you?
Me: I don?t live here, I?m just here for the Stereo and the
silverware and I?m out the door. (CLICK)

Gabi Says:February 5th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Um, just hang up .__.
you don?t have make up stupid things or stories or anything just say
?please stop calling, thanks, have a nice day.?
Problem solved :]

OCLiu Says:February 6th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
well, the being nice and telling them not to call again doesn?t work? I have been REALLY rude to then, as in racist and sexual offensive and they keep calling, same guys. they seem to like it

pharmacy calls alot Says:February 11th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Being nice does nothing at all when it comes to some. drugs america calls a minimum of 5 times a day saying the same thing. Have asked nicely to stop calling and they just hang up and call again later.
I just try to have fun with them, keep them on the line as long as possible, get them to talk dirty to me, give them fake info. Nothing will stop them from calling so make it fun. I talk in my best India accent(that is where they are calling from) Last one asked me what meds I am taking. I responded with ?Nothing but weed, can you get me some??

i am a telemarketer Says:February 12th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
i am a telemarketer so this isnt funny but its factually correct. If anyone calls you just say you are not the decision maker (ie: you are tenants) so you are not in a position to make any decisions. You will be closed down on the database as not eligible and as we all share data off the whole circuit in 3 months. its an insiders trick of the trade- i guarantee you that no telemarketers get calls

People work there are Fucckers Their Families are More Fuckerssss

They are Fuuuckkerrrsss Call them several times and Fuckerssss

Another Mother Fuuuckkers calling
