I don't get it

What dont you get? It's way more easier to call on his own schedule then get called on theirs.

I love tormenting telemarketers. It's one of my most favourite hobbies.

When I get ones from India or wherever, I just keep saying "Sorry, I don't speak broken English."

I also like screwing their words up and feeding them back to them. "What's that? You want to sell me a comb? I don't need a comb, I'm bald. Oh, a phone plan. I don't want a phone plan because then I'd have to get a phone. What's your favourite colour? Hello?"

But you're still wasting your time. Why call them and harrass them when you can be doing something else productive

I guess it's jsut me

1-866-616-6010 has been phoning my cell about 3 times per day for the past 2 weeks. I googled the number and I'm not the only one.

People that mess with Telemarketers are morons, most of them are just kids earning minimum wage and dont even want to be there.

I figure if they don't want to get messed with they can just not call me. They're the ones who are picking up the phone and calling me, not vice versa.

We should all repossess all the repomens' cars and homes. Who cares if they're doing their jobs. They're the ones going to our houses and taking our stuff

That analogy is flawed- at some point I made an agreement with somebody to make payments for a product, and if I failed to make payments they would send a repo guy out. So I technically asked for the repo guy to come by my non-payment. None of us has asked for telemarketers to call us.

The one thing about "getting back"- be careful. I threatened to do that once with the "The is your credit card company, press 1 to lower your interest rate people." What was their solution, they started putting my phone number as the "spoof" phone number they sent out; so I started getting calls from people asking me to stop calling them, what company did I work for, etc.

That is assuming this number they are calling from isn't spoofed to begin with.

Right, because that's the same thing. Repossing the repo-man's stuff is illegal. Calling a telemarketer on the phone is not.

Assuming of course you don't own the repo-man's stuff and he's broken a lease contract, which is hardly wild assumption for most people.

I find the best thing to do to telemarketers is just to hang up as soon as you figure out they're trying to sell something. Don't say "no thank you", or "I'm not interested" or make up some excuse why you don't need said item. Just hang up. It send a pretty clear message and it saves both your time and theirs. It's what I do, and its rare that anyone calls a second time.

Either way, the repo man and the telemarketor are both doing thier jobs.
