25.04.2006 Having Fun with Telemarketers…
I’ve been the owner of a BT landline now for nearly three years, and despite being registered with the UK TPS (which I’ve renewed yearly). I still get lots of junk calls. So rather than hanging up on the pesky callers (of which Toucan Telecom insist on calling me EVERY Saturday morning at around 9am) I’ve started making myself a nuisance to them, and why the hell shouldn’t I? They waste my time, so I’m wasting theirs!
For instance when TT ring up and ask if I’m the owner of a BT landline (which they know full well that I am) I simply reply back with ‘no, I don’t own a telephone’. Which is normally followed by a couple of seconds of gob-smacked silence before they apologise for the intrusion and hang up. I’ve now done this about six times, but they still insist on calling. Are these people stupid or something?
I’m trying to come up with creative responses to various telemarketers now because I’ve simply had enough of getting stressed out and the TPS is a total waste of time. I can’t stop the crap calls, so I may as well have some fun with em right?
