answer the phone, telemarketers are calling

Have you ever bought anything from a telemarketer? What was the best excuse you ever gave for NOT buying something from telemarketer?
If they called and offered a 3-day trip anywhere in USA, with a free dinner & free room in a Ramada Inn...would you pay $100 for the package?

 

no an we are on the feds mandated NO CALL list..

man why would a X carney buy somthin from a telamarkaTEER?

 

how do u get on the feds-NO CALL list?

 

One time a telemarketer called me during a party and I was having a good time. I had a 45 minute conversation with her because I know how long their days can be. Once I started talking about how her day was, her supervisor got on the phone and said that she needed to let me go. I pretended I was very interested, so he let her continue and I signed up for a travel thing with my credit card at the time. A month later I closed that credit card account.

Yeah, so call me and I will annoy YOU, but you might get a sale.

 

I am sure you're on top of it but make sure you add your cell phones to the list as well. They are starting to call cells now.

 

jesus.. um it was like hyped er 18 months, im sedantary it was easy fer us..

unmmmm ???
google no call list?

id like to think yer lookin out fer ole booger there in johnson city..

luv n lite..

 

i aint ever owned but 1,, an that was 8 years ago,, when it was "all the rage" an i was not as wise..

 

you wait till they call then you ask to be put on the list.

 

well i picked up the phone one time and i said "hold on, let me get my dad" and i just left the phone for 30 minutes

 

wait till they call an i report them..

 

eh, never bought anything from 'em. Don't trust them to be honest, same with infomercials, don't trust them. Some hidden catch somewheres for sure. I just say "no thank you, please take me off your list", I at least try to be polite about it (unless they get belligerent)

 

that is so ridiculous. i had one call me the other day on my cell saying the survey would only take about 20-30 minutes. i was like uhhh i have a pay and talk plan, asshole, that's like 2 paychecks right there...

and sqwakers, if someone actually called you offering that it's totally a scam if you have to pay 100$ to get a package about a free trip.
