Tellemarketers

I wish I was witty enough to deal with them like this guy does. The funny part is the tellemarketer is calling from Littleton CO.

LMAO, I had heard that call a while back...indeed, one of the best telemarketer pranks ever...it still made me laugh hearing it again.

Now that was funny! I'm not sure what exactly I heard but, can telemarketers solicit our cell phones now? Anybody out there have the No Call Back Number? Thanks

that was funny, a guy I knew use to tell them he would buy what ever they were selling if they would talk dirty to him while he jacked off

From https://www.donotcall.gov/

"federal law prohibits telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phones. You may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry, but there is generally no reason to do so. For more information, see the FTC's press release "The Truth about Cell Phones and the Do Not Call Registry"."

My cell phone and my old landline were both in the national do-not-call registry, and I've never had a telemarketing call.

Keep in mind, however, that the registry does not apply to nonprofits and political organizations, so the various donation-seeking and vote-seeking people out there can still call. That being said, I've never had one of them call on my cell (but had plenty for the 2k4 election on the old landline).



Oh, and the original post was effing hilarious. I'm pretty sure I've heard some other stuff from that guy. But is it really a crank call if you're just messing with someone that calls you?

OMG that was hilarious. Hadn't heard that one yet. I wish I had the memory for it, I'd memorize it and use it a few times. Karl.
