shermanator 4 #27 December 20, 2007 next time, tell them if they do not remove you rnumber from their database, and continue to call, you will be notifying an attorny from harassment charges if they do not stop. .. That usually works. It worked for me.CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newbloomer 0 #28 December 20, 2007 Next time they call and ask for Eugene, say "sure, let me get him for you" Call out for Eugene to get the phone. Leave the phone on the counter and wait for Eugene to come and get his phone call. Do this EVERY time they call. Eventually they will get pissed and stop calling.

mnealtx 0 #29 December 20, 2007 Quote Well, I did tell him this morning that I was going to go to the District Attorney (yeah, right ) if he didn't stop calling me, and his response was, "Well, you go right ahead. I'm still going to keep calling." Really. The more I think about it, the better I like the idea of just being really annoying when they call. It could be lots of fun.Anyone want to volunteer to be Euguene? I'll give them your number next time they call (8 tomorrow morning) FInd a way to get their address and send them a cease and desist letter, perhaps?Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

dannydan 5 #30 December 20, 2007 You wanna know something... I am glad that you are having a good time with this... I do too! BLAST some good ole ROCK n ROLL in the earpiece next time that should help! Works for me... I have so much freaking fun with tele marketers and the like.. The NRA has been calling me as of late.. MAN, that CORPRATION just does NOT get it! I truely believe that once your a member (its like the mafia) you can never leave!!! HaHaHa I havent been a paying member for like 8yrs? or so, they send me videos and stuff and then expect ME to pay for them...NOT!!! Once I figured out how corrupted that group is, I canked them!! So like they call me and i give them some frickin PANTERA, Metallica, GodSmack etc.... The other tele peeps, I have them repeat their 90 sec to 3 min deal like 2-3 times and in the end they hang up on ME!!! I love it!!! All of a sudden for NO appearant reason, I seem to get off their lists.... Well with the exception of the NRA.... THANK GOD for caller ID! Of course this is when I have the time to fuck with THEM right back.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJL 235 #37 December 20, 2007 Quote It is now. Thanks! But will that keep these guys from calling as they are creditors and not telemarketers? I'm not sure you understand what's going on here. You do realize that these guys are scam arists, right? They're not creditors. I have to wonder why they keep hitting you up; you say over a period of months? Have you ever given them credit card or personal information? Maybe let something slip because you were trying to validate your identity or financial status?

sartre 0 #38 December 20, 2007 What I understand is that them continuing to call me doesn't make sense, because they always ask for the same person, and I always tell them no such person is at this number. They've never gotten any information from me besides that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mynamebedan 0 #42 December 20, 2007 i worked as a telemarketer for like 3 weeks (hated the job wasnt sure why i took it in the first place) and hands down the best way to get piss off one is a loud fax machine. I broke a telephone headset against the wall because i got a fax machine one day. If they think it is a fax line they will take you off the list ASAP.
