Telemarketing Script

Oh and might I add, the idiots calling here the message "We are not excepting calls from this number" Brilliant!

DO NOT ask them to send you their "Do Not Call" policy. You would have to give them further contact information about yourself in order to receive it -- that will only build their database on you and open you to junk mail or spam.

Get yourself an Asterisk box and convert your phone sytem to voip. I get one of these calls I just hit the blacklist button, the next time that number calls they get the "Number Not In Service" message.

There's a unit you can buy called a "Person-to-Person Telephone manager" and it works pretty well.  I got one about a year ago. (it was either $50 or $100, can't remember....)   You can program it to block single numbers, to whole area codes (like 800, 866 etc) with settings to block "no name" numbers as well.  Very flexible.   If a bad number calls,  the phone doesn't ring.   Only drawback is it works on only one phone, but you can buy modules that protect other phones on your line.   (I'm a techie, so I just took all my phones and added a switch to turn the bell on and off.  The one with the P2P is the only one that rings.)  I used to get 4 or 5 calls a day from telemarketers,  (despite DNC)  and now the scumbags hardly ever get through, and if they do, I add 'em to the blocked list.    Their web site is www.peson-to-person.net.   Oh yeah, you have to have caller ID.

Ooops.      The website is  www.Person-to-Person.net

Okay, how about this: If I hack a cell phone number and use it for personal use or sell it for profit - Theft of Service, correct? If I climb a utility pole and connect my TV cable so I can watch TV for free - Theft of Service, correct? If I cut the seal on my electric meter box, pull the meter out and spin it upside down to make it run backwards in order to get "free" electricity - Theft of Service, correct? If a Telemarketing Company calls cell phones or text message phones against established Federal Laws or spoofs Caller ID to bypass home displays against Federal Law - Theft of Service - correct? So...
Losses incurred because of a casualty, disaster, or theft may be tax-deductible. Casualty and theft losses are reported on Form 4684 and Form 1040 Schedule A.
Loss of property because of theft may be tax-deductible. According to the IRS, “a theft is the taking and removing of money or property with the intent to deprive the owner of it. The taking of property must be illegal under the law of the state where it occurred and it must have been done with criminal intent.” You may have a theft loss if you are the victim of
blackmail, burglary, embezzlement, extortion, kidnaping for ransom, larceny, or robbery.
Perhaps if we begin documenting the losses due to Telemarketing and begin deducting these losses from tax forms - in other words talk to them in their own language - they may start to listen to "We The People" and do something about this telephone virus that's beginning to encroach more and more into our daily lives.
I dunno... Just Wondering...

I have an answertone on my cell that I use for anyone who is not in my phone book and it says that if they are calling to sell me something, charity, politicians, etc, to not call me again and to remove my number. if you have cingular/ATT it's worth looking into. Thankfully with my cell phone i can block numbers.

Seems to me that everyone is annoyed with telemarketing calls.  Personally, I see very little difference between them and television and radio commercials.

My VoIP  phone service lets me go online and block numbers!!  It is so awesome and it works, it sends it straight to voicemail

That's because you're an idiot. One encounters TV and radio commercials by choice (turning on said device) whereas telemarketing calls are nearly always unsolicited. Dolt.

Are you kidding me? Call your local phone company and tell them you do not want to receive any 1-800 number telephone calls which includes 866 867 etc. end of those calls.

Eh.... let's keep the name calling and anger aimed at the telemarketers. Using your logic with the TV & Radio you also encounter telemarketing calls by choice when you hooked into the world wide telephone line system. (READ YOUR AGREEMENT WITH YOUR LOCAL PHONE COMPANY SOMETIME!)same as "turning on on said device" and as far as that goes most TV & Radio commercials are nearly always unsolicited! LOL

One thing people should also realize about being put on a company's DNC list. It's not permanent. One thing I learned from my telemarketing days is that the company's are only required to keep your name and contact info on their internal DNC list for 3-5 years. After that, they can call you again. I had heard during that time about a proposed permanent DNC list, but I was let go shortly after I heard about it, so I don't know what happened with it.

Hell, have fun with it.  When i get unwanted calls, I ask them what they are wearing (dude or chick doesn't matter) and start talking dirty.  I make sounds like I'm getting off and masterbating.  So far, they hang up and haven't recvd any more calls from whoever tried calling from that number.
