The solicitor seems to have cheesed him off big-time

We've all wanted to do that at some point, I'll wager

[Goober57]

I'm not usually as polite to the ??@!%* telemarketers as that guy was.

[Cobra]

Was that guy calling from BT, or am I just too tired to understand what the hell was happening there?

[SLICK RICK]

Yep, I'd say he was pretty pissed.

[Craig Tucker]

The guy was calling from BT, some sort of customer survey I guess.

[jimmalenko]

Can someone translate for me ? I can't understand their pommie accents

[lordsmurf]

I like to take advantage of the "hang up" rules they have. Say "hold on" and put the phone down for 30 minutes or so.

[redwudz]

I hate to admit I did a similar thing. MCI (A long distance phone provider) called me 8 times in 3 days. The last time was 9PM. I lost it and screamed obscenities at the person for several minutes.

They finally sent me to a line to remove me from the call list. Then told me it would be at least 30 days before I was removed. I 'TOLD' them it better be 'NOW'. Never got called again. What really pissed me off was that I was on the national 'Do not call' list. I have an unlisted number and I rarely got telemarketers.

I have to say I don't blame the guy. They can only push you so far.

[ZAPPER]

I hate telemarketers (Who doesn't?) I think that it should be against the law in any form. I see it as tresspassing, disturbing the peace, littering, invasion of privacy and creating a general nusiance for starters. I think that it is an industry full of fraud and deception. What person actually thinks that it is polite to call a stranger and disturb their life? The lawmakers need to drop the profits that they are taking on this and please the masses.

I hope the guy in the audio clip didn't bust a vein and that whoever taped and released this clip gets jail time with a cellmate named Bubba! Hell I would pay good money to see any telemarketer get it in the end (so to speak)

hmm.. they can't hang up on you?

[lordsmurf]

No. Most places have like a 5-10 minute requirement before they can hang up. To keep them waiting, keep going back every 5-10 minutes. If you have to go to the bathroom, take the cordless with you so they can hear it.

I treat almost all telemarketing calls politely. The ones I don't
are those horrible computer calls "Interested in XYZ, please wait while a rep
connects.." and calls by freaking Indians.

I swear if I get another telemarketing call from India or an Indian
accent I"m going to do something nasty

This guy does not like recieving unsolicited calls.

I wouldn't either and just as bad as email spams.

I don’t blame him and I do feel the same on this.

Receiving unsolicited or junk postage is just as bad as a pest too.

It's a waste of time and the inconvenience caused.

What about privacy at home? We do occasionally get a call like that and no good at time especially when we having a meal.

This is an inconsideration and break into our privacy. I blasted them.

Australia’s telemarketing laws aren’t good enough and the time allowed for telemarketing as too long and too late to 8pm.

At evenings is a bad time and best for families be left alone.

We don’t have a block for this type of nuisance like the U.S. has.

I also get heaps of junk commercial advertising in our post box almost each day.

It is incredible how much we get of this junk and waste of printing and paper this generates.

In fact, I’ve thrown out heaps of junk today for re-cycling. Absolute lot of rubbish of just one week of it.

Ban the telemarketers and ban junk commercial advertising leaflets, flyers or whatever in the post box.

[ChrisX]

The guy was calling from BT, some sort of customer survey I guess.

We get quite a lot of calls like that too.

Some do offer an entry into a prize or competition to win something.

This means your name and address will be used in a promotion.

At home, a survey as always a NO.

The thing is that you just don't know who is on the other side of the phone and best not to participate.

In Victoria I think it is 9 pm. The rules are
in the Fair Trading Act's so they would differ from
state to state.

[Capmaster]

I've got the best protection against telemarketers. It's called DO NOT DISTURB.

They call my number ....it doesn't even ring my phone unless they enter the correct 4-digit number while the recording is playing

It's diabolically effective

[flaninacupboard]

This guy was a bit OTT, the phone company is BT, they were calling to check everything is ok with his service, and he goes nuts. no different to a waiter stopping at your table to check everything is ok with your meal.

I get a lot of indian calls at work

"can i speak to managing director?"
"who is calling please?"
"PIP business listings"
"what is it regarding?"
"we are business listing diectory, and need to speak to managing director"
"Right. do we actually have any connection with you?"
"Please can i speak to managing director?"
"Do we actually have any connection with your business or is this a telesales call?"
"i am calling from PIP business and need to speak to managing director."
"yes, i understand that. i am trying to ascertain if we actually do any business with your company."
"u------ no."
"then we are not interested. goodbye."


And im pissed off with it.

I almost feel bad for the telemarketers that call your house Cap............






Just joking, keep up the good work Cap and Cap. Jr.

[Goober57]

In a different subject somebody mentioned the duckjob.wav. Maybe we should play that for the telemarketers!

[Capmaster]

Now that we don't get their calls, I kind of miss having fun with them like that. Oh well, I'll just have to endure the absence of phone calls every 15 minutes around supper time

It got so bad at one point that my wife left the house to get away from the phone. They were relentless

I have nothing but hostility for anyone who barges into my home uninvited, trying to sell me stuff I don't need ...be it on the phone, or at my front door.

[Cobra]

We get something even worse now. Recorded messages. There isn't anyone there to lay into!

Yea, I feel the same way. If I want to buy something, I'll take it upon myself to call and order or go to the store and purchase whatever it may be. I don't need someone trying to sell me worthless crap.
