Telemarketers

[mjarrels]

The folks who call me sound like they are from India? I can't understand what they are saying so I just hang up.

Moss,
Where did you get that script? It's chocked full of great lines. I'm going to leave a copy of it by the phone.

I don't remember. Someone sent it to me in an e-mail and I just like to keep it around.

since I started answering all calls with NO caller ID showing,.. " Riverside County Sheriffs office, FRAUD division ".............then wait for the "click" ............it took a couple weeks but I DO notice I get a LOT less of these calls, I'm probbably on somekind of telemarketers "list" ...........

Mom's on the DNC list, but it doesn't matter. Got one the other day that was hilarious. I just sat down with my lunch with her, and the phone rang. I told her it was probably (my older sister) or (my niece), as their timing is perfect like that. I answered, laughed, and told Mom it was a telemarketer. Man, was he offended by that! He started denying he was a telemarketer, swearing at me, and then hung up!

People are so easily offended, and I wasn't even Trying!

I got one the other day, and I answered: "Hello! Welcome to KCRC! You're live and on the air. The topic of our open mic forum today is telemarketing! Please hold for our first caller, and be prepared to answer questions about your profession!" CLICK!

I got another, from some guy who could barely speak English; mangled my name and I said "This is ***'s Bordello (only I didn't say "bordello". What the *** do you want?" He said something like, "Oh, sorry." CLICK

The best was when this foreign guy called, and I answered, with exaggerated heavy breathing: "Hello" Do you know what I'm doing?" I'll leave the rest up to you. His answer was classic.
