Some guy just called me and was a basted or a telemarketer. I tried to tell him that i already had a mobile phone and he kept on talking, obiously reading off a screen. I didn't want to pay him out so i decided to just make noises :D
Enjoy! |

Telemarketers are the scum of the earth, well done
I particularly hate it when you say you're not interested, but they still persist as if they have some divine right to annoy you. |

The thing I hate about telemarketers is when I have to get out of bed, walk 20m to the phone and then have some retard start dribbling some garbage in my ear.
I used to be polite and say "no thanks" but now I just hang up asap. Is there any way you can make it stop without getting your number taken out of the whitepages? |

I'd like to get my Optus number made silent as well. Is it just a case of calling them up and having it done, or do you need a particular reason?

dais, just tell them you want to cancel, tell them you are sick to death of tellemarketers, and tell them you are "anoyed that your details were sold to third partys" then theyll crap on a bit and possibly offer to do it for free, f***, i got a new number, silent, and $5 off my bill doing it ;)

To many telemarketers get paid on commission, i've started just asking them straight out are you getting paid on commission if its no then i say don't waste your time, if its yes i'll try and scam some answers so they can make some extra cash.

yeah i think it is. but in this case i'd vote for splat, i can't think of one telemarkter that has ever brought anything interesting to my attention ever. they waste my time, their time, and lots of money. and what if i'm waiting for a call, say for a job, and i miss it because of them?
if that ever happens, i will be taking legal action if possible. |

Maybe not consent, but both parties have to be informed that it's happening? What about when you call up a place and they say "this call may be recorded for training purposes" or something like that?

What about when you call up a place and they say "this call may be recorded for training purposes" or something like that? well they inform you it may be recorded and by you remaining on the line it's reasonable to assume you consent to it being done. If you don't then you hang up. Simple. I wish a bastard telemarketer would ring me ffs we only ever get the chicks that sound hot and are all nice and s***. No bastard ones. I'm itchin to try out the hold button on my phone! (it plays gay elevator music for the person on the other end of the line) |

I remember someone linking me to a prank ages ago on a telemarketer and the guy subtly told the telemarketer that he was recording it.
He was going like "I was just waiting for another call and have the recorder hooked up"...."I can't get this turned off...is that ok?" Meh. |

if you people think that having a silent number is going to stop telemarketers than, frankly, you're stupid.
Yanno how they get your number, the same way spam companies get your email - you provide it to -someone- without reading the privacy claus that says "We have the right to sell your phone number to third parties" That's why when we finally get DSL I'm going to have to keep the phone off the hook from all the one fateful Bridal Expo I went to. I have 3 nutrimetics ladies chasing me and I've probably won a honeymoon to Mexico. :P |

I have a silent number and as well, never get telemarketers.
As for giving my phone number out for promos and competitions - I don't bother because I don't know anyone on the voting panels to have a chance at winning anyway. I mean, you don't honestly believe those giveaways are not rigged, do you? heh heh heh :) Fark 'em. I like this Telemarketer call... one I consider an all time classic - if all telemarketers copped this kind of response... I think they'd have given up long ago :) http://www.cndl21173.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/downloads/bt.mp3 |
