For Those Who Hate Telemarketers
 
Here's a funny link for anyone who's ever had trouble with British Telecom, it's a genuine customer service call, and you almost feel sorry for the caller by the end. Be warned though, don't play it with any children around, it contains a certain word that begins with F rather a lot.

ROTFLMAO... I think that guy is just 'a little' upset. I know how he feels though before they got the do not call list in action I would get 4-6 calls a day they would really piss me of too.

"Yep no problem sir. Thank you for using BT."

RLMFAOH

:D :D :D :D

Fantastic. Made my day.

I used to get calls from AT&T. I once had an hour chat with a guy and basically gave him advice on how to get out of Telemarketing and how to start up Freelance Web work. :D He thanked me over and over again before we hung up. I wonder if he did start his own business :D

When those telemarketers call, i let them talk and talk and let them think that they have a sale and then tell them i'm not interested.

I have even told somebody that he didn't really have a good sales pitch and if he liked he could try his script again!!! Told him he had improved but i was't interested...........yes, i lead a sad life!!!

See if they are still there half an hour later.

I have caller ID and privacy manager. I decline any calls which I do not identify themselves and will not answer telemarketer calls.

I am also on the no call list.

Beauty - almost have to admire the way the telemarketer was still trying to get his line in half way thru the rant. Remarkable!

I have this too. A very nice feature......only problem i find though, is that when i get calls from back home....they show as number unknown, just like a telemarketing call!!
