snoughnut Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I like to fuck with them, I like to tell them to get a real job and I even wait for them to respond, some do get offended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmo Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Everywhere you go now and buy something they sell your info. I don’t even answer the phone anymore unless I recognize the number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted February 9, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 9, 2018 Thing that pisses me off the most is they have trained all of America to not answer their phone. During my season when I get in the office in the afternoon I have 30=45 messages. There are nights I will make 8-9 calls before I get someone that answers. Now most my messages back say " e mail me " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mileage Psycho Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 If I have the time I'll talk in a slow disabled voice shouting out to mom to get me the credit cards, then I'll give them a VIsa or MC card number, expiration, 3 digit code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02sled Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Caller... "how are you today" Me... "I'm glad you asked. Nobody really seems to care any more. It started this morning when the alarm clock didn't go off and I slept in. Then my wife blamed it on me.... and very soon they hang up. The ones I have the most fun with are those claiming to be from Microsoft and they have found a problem on my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XCR1250 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I've got cordless phone which allow you to block up to 250 numbers, once you block any number, your phone won't ring at all if they try to call you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh but they have new tricks now. They call from different numbers. Most have the same office code as my phone (middle 3 numbers after the area code), that’s how I can tell. I worked in the phone business for years and know all their tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My phone is a business phone and I used to get dozens of spam calls a week, now maybe 2-3 a month and I block those too..it fixed the issue at 99%.

They’re pretty sneaky that way. The stuff that goes on in these places would not be accepted at most businesses.
