He was reading a script and his calls are being monitored by the manager.
I try to be polite because they are "working" and not taking $ from the system. I have heard that many of these people have had "issues" that prevent them from getting other jobs. That scares me - so I would never give any credit info. etc.
If you answer the phone & it takes a few seconds before someone comes on the line it's going to be one of those calls Hang up before they get on the line. LOL

There is a national "DO NOT CALL LIST" . When solicitors call you, you just tell them that that you are on the do not call list, and for them not to call this number anymore. The exemptions is political and religious. I'm sorry I don't have the toll free number but if I find it I will post it here. The phone you want this to be active from is the phone you need to call them from. I hope this was of some help. :) The toll free number is 1 877 249-2782 You can also register online.

it's alabout the money and they don't care what time you went to bed.......I get calls from colleages everytime I'm on the 'puter. Like at 53 that's how I want to spend my day..not. I want to know how they get the info. Look for a job on line and you email someone and the collage guys are callin.

I hate the calls also. Especially on Sunday. I check caller ID and let it go to the answering machine, but if they keep calling and leave no message then I get mad. One of my responses is "Did I or anyone else at this number invite you to call?" Depending on the answer I either repeat it. If they say no I tell them good then don't call this number until someone invites you to. They don't usually call back.

I tried telemarketing 1 day - hated it. We were told that if you can keep the person on the phone you will be able to sell them something. That's all they care about. I usually hang up or when they ask me how I'm doing I tell them fine, I don't want anything and then hang up. I hate being rude but I just don't want to stay on the line.

When I get a caller that is trying to sell me something, (credit cards, car ins, magazines, etc.) I very quickly tell them, "I sorry, but I am not interested." and then I hang up. Only one time in many years of doing this has anyone called me back. With that one person I was not polite - I just hung up!

Not who I am, but who I was becoming. I only get an occasional wrong number now. Peace reigns. Virg

This is what I do: "I am not interested today, but thank you for calling" (click). I just hung up as they continue to talk. Figure they get the message. I am polite (for the most part) but don't intend to listen to them. My way to keep me in check and not get so aggrivated at calls like that.
