Tele-marketers

I hate being pestered but try not to blame the poor bugger who is on the other end of the line. As soon as they start speaking, I say "I'm not interested and I'm hanging up". The way I see it, the more sales they make the better it is for them, so the less time I take to disconnect, the quicker they can get on to their next call.

Yeah I do that too for those TM'ers who aren't Indian.

What I figure is I'm just wasting my time abusing them or playing games with them.

Wongo,

Do yourself and other victims of this scam and follow it up with the approriate authorities. These telemarketing scum are going to far with sort of carry on.

Ive started taking calls at lunchtime where I end up listening to a pre-recorded spiel about me and my family heading off to the east coast for an all expenses paid holiday. So far Ive hung up after 30 secoinds of this cr*p but next time Im going to let the message run and the poor sucker who picks up after the message has finished is going to find out how loud a referee's whistle sounds over the phone.

Cheers Martin

Did you notice a correlation between the calls starting again, and you actually arriving home from your stint at work??

Just a thought! :D :D

OK - the link is not mine... its just a thought.... you know, one of my 'good ideas'.

Wongo, being the IT dude that you are, I give you the link and the website idea.... go on, there's at least two attempts to open it, thats more hits than the Democrats Tassie branch's website has gotten:p

You could work on the site while at work.... you know, on a barely open screen like the one you are reading this forum on.... the one that you got busted using and they thought "if he can waste time on the net, then we will get the next project out quick smart now he knows we are onto him"

Clinton dude, it is a no-no to include Comma, space and single quote in the URL.

Imagine not knowing that!!:D :D

That's why Clinton approached you Scott - because of your intimacy with such details and of course cats.;)

Wongo is intimate with cats? :eek:

According to Bull-Da’s teaching, "you must love your enemies as much as you love your friends.":D

then I don't wanna be your friend either :eek:
