When they call I randomly choose 3 of Yidiot's questions to ask them. I usually hear a gunshot on the other end within 2 minutes. |

i usually start out with..."oh, thank gawd you called....." then i won't shut up. i tell them how my husband is screwing our 72 year old baby sitter, i had my dogs ears pierced and how my blind neighbor takes me bar hopping. they always hang up on me. |

My uncle has the perfect way. He will have one of his children answer the phone, and ask them three questions, then hand it off to the next, and the next, then he gets the phone, and asks more questions until they get frustrated and hang up on him. |

Just chat with them, play their game, answer with lies then tell them you don't really require their services. |

Yes...
I find out where they're calling from...
Stalk them...
Kidnap them...
And then sell them as slaves to obscure fascist nations run by murderous dictatorships...
Seems to have done the trick...I haven't been bothered by them in quite a while... |

I try to sell them Kirby vacuums (I don't sell them, but my daughter and husband in Vegas do own a Kirby franchise). That gets them hanging up... |

Telemarketers are not some foreign species; they are working people just like you. Their companies have to sell a product to survive, same as your company does.
You people are asses. |

No wonder they hang up in tears if you are choosing Ultrastooge BO's questions! That's enough to send anyone into a fit of crying and cursing. |

Ask them if you can call them later when they get home. If they say no,then say quit calling me at home. |

"Well, give me your phone number, and I'll call you back tomorrow during dinner." |

First only use BT, the other companies may not list your number in the directory, but are more likely to give it out numbers and sell on number lists, sign up for everthing that blocks your number, my number will not come up on any display screen, mobile or landline. Make sure you block all calls from 'number witheld' services.
Do not give your number to any commercial organisation, if they need to ring you back, use a pay as you go mobile, if you use a contract phone, they will ring that, Sky television will allow you Sky without using a landline, again use the apy as go number.
Do not give your number out to banks, insurance companies, internet sites, charities, in fact, keep it to yourself, friends and family, use the pay as you go mobile for anyone else.
You may end up being totally paranoid, but I have gone from getting as many as sixty of these calls a day, sometimes from early morning, I once received one at 6am on a Sunday morning, to zero.
Remember silent diallers are now illegal, so if someone does ring and there is a delay before they speak, get contact details and report them to BT, they will suspend and possibly close down the lines they are using. |
