I'm pretty sure this guy was new.
Him: Hello.
Me: Hello.
H: Hello.
M: Hello?
This went on for about thirty seconds.
H: Him, I'm [name] with Sprint, and let me just tell you that you will recieve a new flip phone.
M: I've got a better model than what you guys have so I'm really not interested.
H: First, let me confirm that I am speaking to someone over 18.
Now I started messing with him.
M: What?
H What?
M: What do you mean by that?
H: What?
M: Why are you calling?
H: What?
M: I really don't want anything you're selling.
H: What?
M: Excuse me?
H: Thank you, have a nice day.

H: Yes, I am trying to sell you-
M: O rly?
H:Screw this.

wiiilmml: at least that telemarketer was smart enough to ask about your age. the ones that call me usually talk their mouth off and then ask me at the very end if im old enough or am the head of the household. i say no, and the just let out a long sigh. lol
cloud: yeah. i totally believe that. no, seriously, i do.
cloud: yeah. i totally believe that. no, seriously, i do.
I knew you wouldnt but I have came to the reasoning that I dont give a damn.
Normally I tell the telemarketer "Hold on I'll get my dad" and then set the phone down and 15 minutes later come check to see if they're still there.
I just start talking a different language. French or Polish, whichever I please, its funny what their reactions are sometimes.
lol I should try those
I just don't pick it up.
Oh, I always pick it up ^^ It amuses me to get them aggrivated, and since I record them all, I can save the best ones for when I'm in need of a good laugh.
One from today:
Tele: Hello, may I speak to a Christian *mylastname*?
Me: Uh, I'm a Kristen but not Christian. Do you have the right number?
T: Yes, it says that Christian was interested in our college the -
M: Well, I'm sure he is, and I bet he's looking forward to this call. Sadly, he went off to a very very sad place called NONEXISTANCE, but, oh, wait! My calandar says he'll be back tomorrow. You can try again then.
*click*
My favorite though, was when they called me while I was at the airport with two of my friends...for some reason, he just wouldn't hang up the darn phone >.<
T: Hello, am I speaking to a Kristen Verni?
M: Why yes, yes I am. Who am I speaking to?
T: My name is *idunremember* from *somewhere*
*presses record*
M: WHOA! I've always wanted to talk to someone from there! What've you got for me today, mister?
T: Well we're with *oneofmycreditcards* and wanted to let you know that you qualify for free coupons to over 1000 places for food, entertainment, and supplies.
M: Whoa, free? I don't have to pay a penny?
T: That's right ma'am, not a single penny from your pocket. Now in order for this to process, I'm going to need you to -
M: Waaaaaait a minute there mister...Now, I understand you're trying to get me to like you but making me go through a process and do stuff just isn't a big turn on...
T: Ma'am I'm not trying to turn you on or anything like that. I -
M: Oh, well...you just lost yourself a customer, mister. Telling me you don't like me. How rude!
T: Ma'am, I didn't say I didn't like you, because you could be a valued customer. I'm just not trying to hit on you. Now, if you're interested in our package deal, I'm going to need you to -
M: Hold on a second, there. You tell me that you're not trying to hit on me, and then you ask if I'm interested in your package and you need me to do something for you? You're a sick pervert!
T: Ma'am, I -
M: And stop calling me ma'am, that's such an evil word. You know, going through this harrassment, you're the only one to last more than two seconds. Are you new to this whole telemarketing thing?
T: Well, Ma'a- Kristen, this is a free service that we're offering you. But in order to do this, I need your consen- sorry...approval...to move on to the next step of this process.
M: And what happens if I give my consent, you and your friends come hunt me down in an alleyway?
T: No, from that point you would be <...> and then you must enter your birthdate as a confirmation that you will allow us to take $1 from your account each month that you receive the coupons and -
M: So you LIED to me too? I can't believe you, I thought we had something special! I can't take much more of this torture, it's killing me! *puts receiver in front of mouth* AAAAAHHH-
<Call ended>
lmao sounds funny nothing like that happens with me i just pull a sienfeld .. ever since i seen that episode that has been my approach rofl.
untill that one day..
H: Hello i am with the *forget casue i wasnt listening*
M: Oh sory i have no time now so why dont you give me your home phone number and ill call you back
H: sure its *OMG WTF?*
M: *awkwardly* ummm today is your lucky day im not going to call you back (hangs up quickly because that was freaky)
So he actually gave you his number?
He probably saw that Seinfeld episode and was just messing with you, like you were with him.
When Telemarketers Fight Back!
lolz ya but at the time i was a young scared school girl.. err boy. and i didnt know wtf to say i was just freaked out.
I would have kept going ^^ it's more fun to make them hang up on you.
awesome linkszelda, you have fast reactive creativity, and I like that.
that might be the greatest prank call i have read.
zomg borat soundboard is out ! gona us that one next time =P
awesome linkszelda, you have fast reactive creativity, and I like that.
that might be the greatest prank call i have read.
^^ I used to be a part of an improv group, so I had to be quick in my responses. it's not one of my best, but it was one of the more fun ones.
linkszelda: you are an expert at dealing with telemarketers. You'd have to make a book about something like how to fight back.
haha, it's not that hard ^^ just depends on whether its male or female, if they get my name right, and what they're trying to sell me.
just twist their words, play off of their mistakes, don't let them get a full sentence out each time they try to talk, be both nice AND nasty (this way they stay, but get more and more aggrivated), and most of all - don't blow your cover by laughing/giving up half way through.
/end book entitled: Fighting Telemarketers for Dummies.
LMFAO! linkzelda you pwned him i dunno how i missed that post <_>
I just don't pick up the phone if I can tell it's a telemarketer or I immediatly say that "we don't want any, please don't call us" and hang up. Being mean to people just for doing their (quite annoying job) doesn't seem worth it. Especially because they're just doing what they have to do to not get fired, and it isn't like everyone has the luxury to just get up and find another job.
theyre scum ! well not so much. but hella anoying
