Dear Telemarketers....

When I tell you to take my name off the list, especially you supposed "charities" who think you don't have to adhere to the no-call list, do what I ask.

I don't have to be nice, and I sure has heck won't be the second time around.

And by the way, it doesn't take your COMPUTER 4 weeks to delete my name from the database. It takes all of a few seconds. It does however, take that long for you to decide to honor my request and put the job together to make it happen. That's not your computer system, that's your people. There's a difference.

Oh and when I tell you all of this, don't respond by saying "I don't have time to argue" remember YOU called ME, not the other way around. I don't care what your quota is, the only person's time you're wasting is MINE.

Losers. Go away.

Ugg.

Ok I feel better now, time for a drink!

It's kinda tough to say, but I have a sure fire way to get most telemarketers from calling you after you take enough of there calls. Personally I haven't gone this route yet but I have friends who tell me this works. I'm sure you know they read you a script when they call you. They act like they are your friends and know you and so fourth. But if you use my script, I think the telemarketing problem will go away for you. It goes like this:

Telemarketer: Hi this is (Name here) is Joe available?

Joe: Yes that's me.

Telemarketer: What are you up to today?

Joe: Well I'm kinda busy f*****g my sister right now, and I have to get back to it.

Telemarketer: *Stunned Silence* followed by a click, followed by a telemarketer erasing your name from the list.

Problem Solved

And if that doesn't work go buy a police whistle and wait for them to start talking and blow long and hard right into the mouth piece of the phone. Guaranteed they won't be calling back or calling anyone else for a long while.

I get automated Telemarketer calls seemingly all the time.
They give me a option of press this number to have my number removed from their number list. That never works or has not so far, I get 'that's an invalid option', or some other bull.
I just don't bother trying those stupid remove options anymore. They don't work and the system on the other end knows it has found a live person.

Yea the one time I did go through that to get to a live body they hung up on me. Pretty funny.

There was one other one that was automated went to my cell phone, I called and the owner was very apologetic. Never heard from them again.

The callers I reference in the OP are live body calls from these supposed charities (who change the city of where they're located to your town) and they're all based out of the same exchange in the W. Palm Beach area.
