Annoying telemarketers trying to sell magazines

they are the most aggravating people. i am on the do not call list but every once in awhile one will slip through. i'm like you i just say i'm not interested & hang up. i know they are trying to make a living but i wish they wouldn't call me. lol

Well, I'm on a do-not call list, so I'm safe....for the most part. I remember my dad would just come out and ask them if said person was a telemarketer. (Usually, they couldn't pronounce our last name.) The telemarketer would say yes and my dad would basically tell them not to call anymore. So, if I hear an unfamiliar voice on the other end of the phone, I pretty much do the same or if I'm just plain not interested, I hang up and go back to what I was doing.

hello moneymommy i have caller i.d. on my home telephones and if i do not know a number that is calling me, then i will not answer the phone. usually the person's name and their telephone number comes up on the caller i.d., when when that doesn't happen is when that i will not answer the phone. lol whoever that is calling that i do not know like that, can leave a message or hang up, which ever that they decide to do. and i like the way you put it, just say no thank ya, and hang up on them quickly. lol you go girl! take care and have a beautiful afternoon.

Well my husband and I have been having trouble with telemarketers lately. I have one particular company that keeps trying to sell me long distance. Now I am very happy with my long distance provider and I have told them this numerous times, I have also asked to be taken off of their call list. Now I thought I had heard the last from them but I was wrong. They called me about three days later again trying to sell me the long distance plan. Now I lost my patience and told them that I had already spoken to someone and told them to tkae me off the call list. They guy on the phone then told me that there were no notes made to that effect. My reponse was to tell him to make certain that he made the notes himself because the next call I recieved from either him or his company, would result in legal action. I have actually talked to my lawyer about this and he has told me that once you ask to be removed from the call list, any further calls you recieve are harassment. I told this to the guy and thankfully it has been about two months since I have recieved a call from them. Maybe next time I should just ask them for their home number so that I can call them back at my next available chance,LOL.
