[b0Ng h!tz 4 mE]

every single day.. i have someone call me up tryin to sell me a mobile phone.. EVERY SINGLE FUCKIN DAY.. one day it was goin on like every half hour.. i mean ffs.. i just got a call now and its 10.30 in the morning.. if i was woken up i wouldnt of been very happy.. i never even understand a word any of them are sayin cuz they have such strong paki voices.. i didn't understand what this one was sayin, all i understood was somethin about the company 3.. i was tryin to be polite and just end up tellin him im not interested but he said somethin, didnt understand what he said so i just sed "erm.. yea.." and he sed "what?" and i didnt mean to but i shouted "JUST FUCK OFF" down the phone and hung up.. so much for bein polite... i think its the same people every day.. is there anyway to block they're number?

lol quit wasting your time being polite to tele-marketers... it's not going to get you off the phone any faster and it's not going to get them to leave you alone.. have fun with them... when they call next time be like "so... what you wearing?" or some shit.. lmao... and i dunno about over in uk, but in the US if you tell a tele-marketer to put your number on the no-phone list, and they call anyways... you can take them to court over it... also dunno about in uk, but in us there is a way to block numbers lol.. i can't remember i think it's *70...

I get these too, ring BT and get em to block private calls. [withheld numbers]

The best one i fucked around was double bloody glazing, they rang me, and asked how many windows i had... so i said hang on, and came back 15 minutes later [they were still on the phone... fuck they must be desparate] and said 4.

Most of the time as soon as they say Hello, im calling from so and so i tell them to fuck off, and if they carry on i threaten them with legal action, and that stops the calls for about a week, then it starts again.

Try and see if you can get yourself ex-directory. Then hopefully they wont get your number again and again.

Tell them to put you on the DO NOT CALL LIST.....

then tell them you will hunt them down, and tear thier Hart out while still beating, and feed it to them.

u should hear what i say to them i used to get the same thing same time everyday, i gave them so much abuse it stopped

[LIP]

Sadly, threatening them is the only way to get it stopped these days. I never used to get calls everyday offering me shit, that i'd never want.

I mean... why would i want double glazing... i already got it, and if i didnt, i'd ring them.

Do a google search for the National No Call List and that will put your number on the Fed. list for this type of garbage. Also, there are state lists that you can be put on also. I did both about 2 years ago and rarely receive any type of calls of this nature. If they do call afterwords, first ask for the company name then inform them that your are on this list and if they call back again you'll be sueing for harassment. Works EVERY time!

Have a good one!:thumbsup:

I get them all the time. My bank keep calling me trying to sell life insurance. Even though I didn't need it they kept calling, so one day I decided to play a game with them.

Bank: Do you work?
Me: No.
Bank: So what do you do with your spare time?
Me: I don't really have spare time.
Bank: But what do you do?
Me: I smoke drugs.
Bank: (dissolves in laughter) Sorry, our policy doesn't cover that.

:D

I was told they record calls for training purposes!

This lady called my house trying to sell time shares in miami, so I told her that I also sell timeshares, and ended up trying to sell her one.

I just hang up the second I realise that its a courtesy call. I also dont answer the phone often, that stops it if no one picks up for a few days.

The last marketer that came to my house was selling home security systems. I was a little upset because she woke me up from my sleep. She just didnt want to except NO for an answer. She was so presistant. Finally I said "Ok you know what, why don't you come in and lets take a bath together and talk about it". It was so funny. She told me to have a nice day and hasn't been back since! Give this one a shot when the next person knocks on your door trying to sell you something.
