That trick does seem to work, I've used it at times, and then NO MORE CALLS or faxes,,,wonder why?????

Or you could just start preaching to the surveyor! It's amazing how fast they get off the phone!

 

Mind you...it doesn't stop someone else from calling back...but it sure is fun to hear the reaction!

[Freebird]

Here is the way to handle them. NOTE: There IS some semi-racy language so don't listen if you are easily offended.

I always liked that one. Would have loved to have seen that guys face.

If I make the mistake and answer the phone I just tell em my mom isn't home. Funny part is they ask when she'll be home. :rotf:

OK! That is one I had not heard before... roflmbo..... I think I will have to forward that one to a few friends...

 

Thanks for that post

I appreciate the frustration that comes with receiving unwanted telemarketing calls. I dislike them as much as the next guy and am on the "national do not call list".

 

But as someone who ownes a market research data collection call center (survey company). It generally is not the intent to bother people but to obtain information that can help improve products and services.

 

After reviewing their website, Logitgroup appears to be a legitimate research firm not a scam or front for a sales call. (They use the same software system I do)

 

If you don't want them to call you back, the best thing you can do is answer the phone and tell them you absolutely will not participate in the survey. The interviewer can then mark the number as a "refusal" and you shouldn't receive any further calls.

Does this mean no one on the vr.org site will take my calls?????

[KarlS]

No, It was me calling. Just wanted to know if you had Prince Albert in a can.

Well here is the way I feel about it. I'm on the do not call list also. I WILL tell them to NOT call me again and I also let them know that I am reporting their number. I not only tell them that but I DO follow through. I should not have to waste a minute of my time telling them that I am on the do not call list. It is their responsibility to obtain the scrubbed list. I don't get nearly as many of those calls as I used to but when I do, they get reported.

 

I hope that everybody is reporting these telemarketers who feel that the law does not apply to them. Here is the link to do so:

Now I do realize that charities, political organizations, and telephone surveyors are exempt and I think that is wrong. If I have any doubt though, they get reported.

If I am home and the telmarketer is unlucky enough to get me the conversation usually goes like;

Them;Hello, May I speak to Mrs. Myers( our phone is listed in her name)

Me; No, shes busy, she is in the shower

Them; Is this Mr. Myers?

Me; No, I'm Mrs. Myers boyfriend, Mr Myers is out of town. What do you want?

 

Only once have I had them hang up without asking the same question again. On several occasions i've had them start laughing and then tell me they cannot believe what i am telling them at which point I hang up.
