How to mess with a telemarketer?
-
How can I mess with a telemarketer at their expense? I have two methods - Method #1 : Ask "why?" to everything they say Method #2 : Turn the table on them and attempt to sell them chocolate in exchange for their credit card number. Telemarketer: Hello, I'd like to sell yo- Me: Hello, how are you doing? I'm picking up on behalf of Hershey's and I'd like to sell you chocolate. I'll need your credit card number, it'll only take a moment. Telemarketer: But si- Me: I'd like to sell you chocolate on behalf of Hershey's. I'll need your credit card number, it'll only take a moment. REPEAT! I normally hang up and ask the telemarketer to place me on their do not call list, but if they continue to call, I resort to messing around with them... lol.

Act like your really stupid. have them explain what a credit card is, and ask them all kinds of things about the product. Pretend like your a total idiot and have no idea about anything.
One of my favorite telemarketer pranks goes like this: "Hi, this is Linda from XMS promotions. We're offering a free Hawaiian vaca-" "Linda, sorry to cut you off, but my religion forbids me from speaking to a woman. Is there a man there who I can talk to?" "Um... sure... hold on." "Hi, this is Frank from XMS promotions. We'd like to offer you a -" "Hey, Frank! Actually, Linda just put me on the line with you. She asked me to tell you that she's been thinking about you a lot and really wants to hook up sometime, if you'd be down for it."

Keep in mind that they make their money on volume the more time they spend with you and not make a sale is less money for them so if you have the time the best thing to do is make them go over evey little detail about every little thing ask about add ons then cross compare packages go back forth between deal a vs b vs c , c vs b, c vs a and then ask about discounts like if you belong to AARP OR IF YOU BUNDLE DEALS . the bundling works great with the Phone companies like AT&T because they offer everything from cell phone to internet. What if I add auto protection to my cell phone plan but take away internet or upgrade INTERNET and lower minutes on my cell phone can I get satellite TV for my car as well as home do you partner with any streaming video providers is there a way to get free movies if I add more minutes to my cell plan?? well you get the idea

before we placed our number on the no call list My husband. The card. During dinner...annoyed getting a sales call once again Mu husband pickes up the phone...when asked if he was there. My husband states "I hope not i am robbing his house" and hangs up when i was serving dessert the police came knocking on the door. The sales call was form a local company (oddly enough a security firm)...and the person did not understand it was a joke. The policeman laughed (I kid you not on that. ya nice cop) Oddly enough we never got another sales call form that company again a few things were stolen form our garage that night. (I happen to think it was a cop but that is a different topic) Humor is the best way to rid of calls, agree
