Telemarketing Script

thats ok AJ, you can do what you want, and when you try to get a "real job" those companies wont hire you, since you're affiliated with a trash company.

I was getting a lot of junk calls. Telemarketers, calls where they were silent or no one was there, fake IRS call, Paralyzed veteran's clothing pickup that I would put clothes out and no one would ever show, and so on. I decided one day not to answer anymore calls unless I knew the caller and I could tell by the caller ID. I still had a lot of calls the first few weeks but then slowly they slacked off and it finally got down to a call maybe every two weeks or even less. One day I got a call and I thought it was someone I knew so I answered it and it was spam of some kind. Within 5 minutes of ending that call I got another one and it has been going ever since. I answered just one and then kept right on answering like, "bet you can't eat just one."  I know what to do now. Just quit answering. It will take a month or so, but then they really slack off and you will go weeks with no spam calls. At least that is how it did for me.

Ok, dear nuisance phonecall wranglers, what do you do about those perennial pests called "Canadian Pharmacy," which is actually I think in the Philippines.  Everytime they call me they use a different phone number and a different US area code.At one time I went to war with them and kept calling them back - their numbers will work for a day or two - insisting on talking to a manager  to get me off their phone list and was always automatically disconnected.  What the manager did do was to increase their automated calls to my phone every hour - once an hour for several days.  Verizon blew me off because I couldn't give them any information on  the company like their permanent phone number or address.  ....I can tell when they are calling because when I answer there is this long pause and I automatically hang if there is not an immediate repsonse to my "hello", but still it is such a horrible intrusion into ones space. How to you skin this cat?

What an excellent idea! PLEASE someone invent this app!!!

There are apps that provide most of these benefits.  There are also hardware solutions for land lines.

I regret that I don't have an answer to your query, but I would like to thank you for using such admirably good syntax in the compositon of it.

The following (obfuscated link, for which I apologize!) in no way diminishes that opinion. I actually had to re-read, in that I'm not accustomed to syntax such as that, online.

Cheers, from Steve in Toronto.

REALLY?

You are one lucky SOB/DOB (gender neutrality intended).

I did some of that work when younger, but it was a slog. I did rather well, but it was somewhat early in the 1990s, and insofar as ARPANET's transformation into the Internet was recent, and Tim Berners-Lee's World-Wide Web world-changer wasn't widely available nor useful, I didn't have a quick resource to check the «bona fides» of my employers and their employers. I always wondered whether my pitch was actually true.

Feed your family. But don't lie or coerce, and don't intrude excessively. Or find better work.

Cheers.

I admire your tenacity!

Want food, shelter, money?  Find an honest job!

Find an honest job...scumbag.

Magic Jack has a call screening function that gives all non MJ callers 12 seconds to push a button (4,7,9) whatever to prove you re human. Love it.

That’s funny! Haven’t heard of that one, yet!! OMG!  How many Senior  Citizens Do fall for it? Never enough $ to buy their Rx! They either eat that month or buy their life-saving meds!!
Then what? Do they loose the $ or even All of it depending on the information they give them? Or are they sent Something that’s just cheap buffers or God forbid something poisonous??!!
Actually, there’s Nothing funny about this one!!

I have options for blocking, tho some do just call from another number. Options are block and delete there's also a feature which puts the spam texts in a group that I can choose to report spam or mark not spam. My block registers are mighty full. I can however put in trash, plus Google trashes after 30 days anyway. I have no love for them calls!!! Especially car warranty is about to expire, they are even sending actual hard copy thru the USPS. My vehicle is a 1998 and the other is 1996! 😆 the student loan debt and frankly they call people who never went to college! Oh, and the Rx companies are forever 📞 Medicare eligible.....nope nope nope!

Oh yeah, thanks for the information to help rid them 👍😎

Jimbo. Lmao. That's a good one. Although I'm not the kind to do exactly your questions, I can think of other options for them to not ever call back.
It's now 2021, so these thieving people steal other people's numbers and immediately afterwards they are no longer in service and they start with a different stolen number, usually they are local numbers so a person would think they're close rather they are totally in a different country.  I have only a cell phone and if they aren't a contact I just flip it over so it stops ringing, if they don't leave a vm then I add to my block list which is now bigger then my contact list.
They just keep growing & growing hoping to get 1 sucker a day, that's all they need. Unfortunately,  they make a killing off negligent people.
