Top 10 Ways To Get Rid Of A Telemarketer
Personally I don't care for telemarketers, in fact I really don't care for them. They call at the most inoppertune times - when you're eating, sleeping, relaxing, or just sitting around doing nothing (yea even then it's annoying).

when i began getting annoying phone calls from telemarketers i decided to give em a taste of their own medicine.
so i had an answerin machine set up. when the telemarketers would call, the phone would pick up then i left my message,” For option 1 press 3 for option 4 press 2, for option 3 press 5 for option 2 press 1 if you did not hear your option then this call is terminated.and the phone would disconnect. By the time they hear all the options, but there are no options they get annoyed, i would wait for my phone to ring, and i would listen to what theyd say. they d usually just hang up. finally after about a week, they stopped calling. lol
Im gonna start useing those from now on.
tim, that is funnie. i like that idea. don’t you hate answering machines, it’s giving the telemarketer a taste of their own medicine.
I’ll definately use a few of them. Lmao!
I say “no” over and over anyhow. They always ask for one of my parents. x3
haha i got a call asking for my Dad and i proceeded to break down in tears and tell him that he walked out on us last weel and if they knew where he was please let me know. then go on a rampage about how you dont think you ever did anything to deserve this and blah blah blah my life sucks. another effective method is to tell them that whoever they are calling for has passed away (proceed with crying) they wont call back after that..
I just try to sell them somethin myself. IE:
them:”hello this is _____(name from company) and we’re calling to talk to you about credit cards.
you:”Oh, yea, Great! I’ve been trying to sell mine for years. So, do you want the five pack or the twenty-five? man I’m telling you, these are great gifts. etc. etc.
Normally they keep trying to get you back to what they are selling.
i did not under stand any thing
reem ur just straught dumb
my telemarketer story
.
Telemarketer:hello my name is rob from Bell long distance would you like to change your long distance?
Me:sure just one sec (few seconds pause, make sure you have speaker phone on) OH MY GOD! GRANPAS NOT BREATHING
Telemarketer: oh my god is he going to be alright???

telemarketer:should i dial 911?????
me: OH MY GOD HES TURNING BLUE (make several thumping and thrashing noises) BREATHE!!!!!!!
telemarketer:ok im dialing 911 whats your adress?????

me:okay back to you… what were you selling again?
telemarketer: oh uh… I wanted to ask you about changing your long distance plan
me: oh riiiiight… no thanks not interested
Well my brother answered the phone and as usual it was an indian telemarketer and after a while Mat (my bro) started asking the woman if she knew of any good indian recipes she said “I am not allowed to talk about that” and proceded to talk about the special offer that she had. Mat still wanted his recipie so he asked again, with the same reply. Then after a while she said alright and proceded to tell him the recipe. So he copied it all down and it turned out to be a really good meal. So this one was useful. Mmmm Indian food ha ha ha
I just say:
Somebody pays you to talk to me but no one pays me to listen…
i absolutley loved this one. it is hilarious. especially number 10
I had a cousin of mine do the 6th way to get rid of a telemarketer, except he kept coming back every 25 to 45 minutes, just to check on the poor sap,, telling him, oh wait, I think I know where it is, or Wait just one more sec…I know EXACTLY where I left it., and the dude ended up waiting over 2 and a half hours!, only to have my cousin tell him in the end he only found his blockbuster card, then hung up
i also get alot of telemarketers, and i have a 5 year old little sis, and i start sounding attentative, ill just go get my credit card, and then i give the phone to my lil sis, she loves tlking to em, and then in 10 mins, my sis will say he hung up, with a big smile on her face,. so thank you for makin my sis smile telemarketers
I remember one time a telemarketer called really late and i told him not to call so late…and he replies with a smart answer saying i will not call if you buy my product…so i told him I will disconect the phone and then he goes wait is this Rick and i’m like yeah how’d you know my name…and he’s like i just guessed now please buy my product…blabbing on about how he will get fired if i don’t buy his product…I told him i’m going to get fired if i don’t leave right now. so i hung up…later he calls up in about an hour…he says i knew it you weren’t going to work and he hung up. S.O.B.
and Reem ur a dumass
and Nessa go back to school You Fcuking ‘tard…learn how to spell straight right
The only reason i spelled dumass wrong and fcuking wrong is because it wouldn’t post
just go along with everything then give toataly false card details continue to do so untill theye give up
all i do is act that im a police officer and pretend that the guy they are calling is dead and it is a murder scene
i keep them talking for about 5mins then say ” ok i think your a suspect, where do you live? dont worry we wont arrest you” then wisper ” hey bob this suspect thinks we wont arrest him”
then they just hang up
lol
fun times
start talking to them like you know them
I just say “ya know? i met a person that sounds just like you? his name is jim. he is nice he never has road rash. (ect. ect) OR i just speaking in spanish OR act like i am selling something useless like glow in the dark _____(food artical)
DUHH ROAD ->RAGE
start playing super mario music or ledgend of zelda music and then ask them if they know the name of he game and if so if they ever played it. if not explain the game. ask them what there fave. game is. I HAVENT USED IT **RESAULTS ARN’T ALWAYS THIS AWESOME**
IT WONT WORK WITHOUT THE SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!
Usually telemarketers get paid by how long their phone calls last.
So I wouldn’t leave the phone with them on it.
lol funny w#nks
I use to be a telemarketer for 4 months. i know “we” are annoying, but try doing it for a day!! You wouldnt believe all of the stuff i have heard!! “top 10 ways to get rid of a telemarketer” plus 50. Before i was a telemarketer i hated them i tried every thing to make them stop calling, but now i kinda feel sorry for them, it is really a hard job, mentally. just a little thought for those of u that treat them badly when they call. And for those of u that make them laugh and politely ask them to stop hats off to u!!

Dear Frustrators,
I am not surprised to see such prank talk about telemarketers, but one must try to empathise the most hard working fellows on the planet, I challenge anyone to work as a telemarketer and then comment on a telemarketing call. The most professsional way to stop them calling you is ask them to “send me a mail with specific instruction that If I find it useful I will call you back”.
After working as a telemarket for 5 years i found most of these ways to get rid of telemarketers childish. The easiest way to deal with it is to say, “Please, put me on your do not call list.” If they call you, it is a fine.
if they ask 4 ur parents say they just died and begin crying hysterically
good idea’s!!!!
The one about getting your credit card and let them wait is a bad idea. The company gets paid on how many munites you are on the phone with them. so leaving your phone on the table with them is a bad idea bc you are making the company money.
I just say “I’m the maid” or “no habla ingles”
it’s not funny enoough
thank you any way
Most companys dont pay for how long they were on the phone. they usually get paid per hour like most ppl. or if its a survey company they get paid per survey or per pages of surveys. the best way to get rid of telemarketers is asking them to put u on there do not call list. if they keep calling it usually is a fine.
when they speak in english say ” no habla ingles” and when they Talk in spanish say” I don’t speak Spanish”
i like to tell them about the irritating pimples on my back and ask them if they know any home remedies.or i tell them to f!@# off and hang up that works too
really funny but i do feel a little sorry for the telemarketers
i have to use these thanx 4 posting them
how could u feel sorry 4 telemarkerters there so annoying
One time I was about to call a friend. as soon as i picked up the phone a telemarketer had called sooo the milisecond it rang i had it picked up
I caught him off gaurd a little and he studdered when giving his prepared sentences. I just hanged up, but It was a very unique… experience.
you could just say you are a burgeler and pray that you dont get the cops called on you!
once when i was like thirteen a telemarketer called and i was like “what? oh my god! my mom cant come to the phone now. no, really… she cant! shes got extreme diarrhea! no, my dads not here, either. *bursts into tears* my dog got ran over…. *sniffle sob sniffle* he’s burying Fido as we speak….. WHY oh WHY my little Fido?!?!?!” yeah, i rambled on and cried and then just jumped from random subject to ranom subject for awhile. i think they got a kick out of it, because when i finally hung up me & my friend could hear hysterical laughter in the background.
XD
but hey, they didnt call back either!
how funny
Very good! But can I add one. My 84 year old Mother shuts them up quickly by saying “What was your name?” and without pausing “I am so glade you called. I’ve been in this house all day by myself with no one to talk to and you know there is nothing to watch on TV with all that sex stuff even at noon. And the radio is horrible – what ever happen to good music like —” Usually by then they hang up and they seldom are dumb enough to call back.
when i get calls from telemarketers i try to be nice and hear them out but when this one guy caught me on a bad day i gave it to him. I started screaming at a ” pet penguin named percivil” , and telling him if he didn’t quit pecking at the bodys in the freezer that i would chop him up ”just like i did my parents”. The man screamed and told his co-worker in the background what i had said and he sounded like he was about to cry. [ lol ]
he told me he would call back at a more conveinient time and i told him i would get his number off of caller id and call him back when i had finished the penguin. I havn’t had a telemarketer call me since. that was a year ago.
Awesome!
Funny stuff! (Used some of it on stage!)
Thank you!
