Telemarketers....

[He Man]

Im on the National Do NOt call registry and for some reason there is this ONE NUMBER that will NOT stop calling me. Its about lower my automotive car insurance rates before my car gets reclassified.

THey call about 4 times a day, and ive asked them nicely, they hang up on me, and ive cuss the shit out of them, and the guy cussed back and hung up on me.

Can't even google who they are. Does anyone else get this stupid call?

I get the car warranty calls

[He Man]

i assume youve had no luck stopping them?

every time they call me i press whatever button it says to speak to someone and put on my acting hat.  when i get to speak to them i use my best southern redneck voice and start talking about how my 1972 camaro just started smoking pretty good and asking if their warranty takes care of that.  half the time i dont make it all the way through the question before they hang up.  

ive had one ask if thats my newest car and when i said yes he told me i will be taken off the list, so i responded with a "thank you very much sir" in my normal tone.  you could almost touch the confusion through the phone.

If the number comes up on your caller i.d. you should be able to enter that information at http://www.donotcall.gov
Every time this happens to me, I report it. If you don't they aren't going to be persuaded to stop...

I dont have a caller ID ...but if i hook the phone line to my Direct TV, its suppose to pop up on the screen so ill try watching TV till they call again.

I really want to meet the person on the other line, dont they know they are working for a scam company?

[NAKID]

Sorry, but how do you not have caller ID?

We found the best solution was an Answering Machine, they will not talk to an answering machine, We have told all our friends let the machine answer and when you hear the beep just start chatting away , we listen in to see who it is, if it is friends or family we answer.

we find it works well in 2 ways
1. The Telemarketers keep trying but after a few months they gave up, we never gets calls anymore. and we are not on the do not call list.
2. If it's a friend or family member we just don't want to talk to, simple, we were out when you called!

Winner all round

I get the car warranty calls

i get those too... but only on my cell

Sorry, but how do you not have caller ID?

I'm talking about a landline not a cell. and even then, i think i have to pay extra for caller ID because i have the most basic of basic packages. $13 a month + .10cent per a call outgoing, free incoming.

We found the best solution was an Answering Machine, they will not talk to an answering machine.

Gonna try that. just need to setup the answering machine. (strange how i have one of those but no caller ID eh? lol)

ditch the land line.

i have never received a telemarketing call on my cell. ever.

[TiNi]

we've considering getting rid of the land line... only thing stopping us is the security system
