Tom Mabe - Cemetery Telemarketer Prank

This one is great just like his other prank located at:
https://800notes.com/articles/Video.aspx/ZYW4XYBo8ADI_gjJXHU9pA

Why do you think the telemarketer wanted him to wait till the next day? Did he really want to sell him his stuff or just was trying to delay the suicide to have time to call to the police?

The optimist in me says he wanted to get this guy some help.  But if he was in a room full of others, why not get them to call 911 right then?  But if he was alone, that is one way to get him help without hanging up.

The devil in me says this guy would try to get him help, but he was hedging his bet that he would commit suicide anyway and wanted to sell him the plot.

I think the telemarketer was both concerned for the guy on the phone and was also still doing his job. I mean if he was really that scummy, when Mabe asked about financing, the TM could have just said well I'll ignore that you are going to commit suicide and process the paperwork.

I can only imagine what the TM REALLY thought!  Bet he wish he had another job. What a way to start the week off.  He should have gotten a call back number.

"The Angel of Death" Classic!! lol

that was awesome lol

You are my hero!

OK.. the other video had me rolling.. but this one took it too far. :(

If the poor guy on the line never found out this was a joke, and I don't think they do.. he could have psychological issues for the rest of his life with this.

Not all telemarketers are bad people.. and even the bad ones don't deserve that.

See, but that's just the thing.  Many of us are not in the best financial positions when these people are calling us anyhow (I'm referring mostly to credit card reps).  They don't know if someone died and you had to spend all your money on a funeral, they don't know if you are scraping up cash to support your child through college, and I doubt most of them really care about every person they call.  It doesn't matter what you say or how much you try to get them to understand, they just push the issue...push the issue...reach the goal...

Today I received so many calls, I'm thinking I have to change my number and thus, all my contact info.  I feel like there are no options.  Either pay or be bombarded everyday.  No money means I can't pay now, so they feel I should be totured about an already difficult situation 3 time every hour for 12 hours a day.  They don't care if I'm struggling or taking care of my mother.

So what this prank does is not so much to illicit hysterical laughter, but really take a scenario and cause you to think.  This telemarketer happened to be decent, but I bet the one I spoke to today would have told me that I should have planned better.  For some, those constant toll free calls may indeed be like the Angel the Death calling.

he was just trying to stall him until he could get help

This is just priceless! :-D

As someone who's recently been receiving a TON of TM calls between the hours of 11 PM and 4 AM I'm fed up with it!

My home and cell numbers are both on the DNC, yet I'm still getting Unknown/Unlisted (but not fully untraceable) calls at all hours of the day and night from TM's. I'm currently seeking legal action against 4 companies in particular, with Cingular/AT&T's help.

I'm truly curious though.
Did the TM call the police or not after the gunshot?
Only Mr Mabe can answer that question, as to whether or not the cops showed up at his home to investigate the "suicide".

Personally, I wonder if this event warped the TM's little brain and he wound up in an institution?

If it did, Oh well. Karma's a [***] like that sometimes.

The telemarketer is a really decent guy.  This one wasn't all that funny.

This was superb! Tom got him hands down. Having had a few experiences with telemarketers, I think they deserve what they get. My skype in number goes off frequently in the midle of the night. As I am in the middle east, that means anywhere from 12 midnite to 330am usually. You may correctly infer that I am not amused about telemarketing calls at that point. I shall change my voice message to Thai as that has worked well in the past. Drives them insane when they hear that....

Ummm...
