i get those calls 3-4 times a day, always with different numbers attached. i once listened all through the message, the person that answered wanted my credit card number. i made up a number. he wanted to verify it and i told him to go to he%$ and remove my name. he cussed me out and hung up. I still get calls daily. theres no way around them.
you cant block them cause they change their numbers.

I try to have fun with those calls. When they say they can give me a better rate, I ask them what my current rate is and how much they will save me. When they stumble/stammer, I just say, "Don't call me back until you know what you are talking about." It's my phone. When you call me, I am in control and let them know in a hurry. I love to interrupt telemarketers and ask them to repeat something. Then, I ask how their kids are doing and what the weather is like and if they've had any luck fishin' or some such silly stuff. I just try to waste as much of their time as possible unless I'm in a hurry. If I'm in a hurry, I ask them for their "access code" and then hang up when they don't have one.:laughing:

jinman the problem is that its a recording.And then you push a button and get a person who is good at deciding if your a buyer or not. and they arent polite at all.
Then you cant do anything ,because the number isnt a working number.
These are far different than playing with your normal telemarketers...They are the bottom of the barrel leaches.

Print out this PDF and keep it by your phone. When you get a call, follow the script. Have great fun! :thumbsup:

I used to forward those calls to the Chairman of the CRTC. (The federal government agency that polices telemarketing in Canada) IP phones are awesome.

They get really angry when you negotiate for lower rates then give them a fake card number.
