I had a telemarketer call me yesterday. I told him immediately that I was not interested. He was having a hard time speaking English so when he began to talk again I thought maybe I had gotten something wrong. He said, "no, no, no, you don't understand. I have something really important to tell you." Trying to be polite, I listened for a bit when he began to ask me credit card information. I told him again I was not interested in anything he was trying to sell. He again replied, "no, no no, you must listen to me, you must." I again assured him that He was waisting his breath and hung up the phone.....He called me right back! saying he was sorry that he had accidentally ended the call. Again I warned him that he was wasting both of our time and told him goodbye. He called back within 15 minutes talking to my husband. My husband was not as polite and warned him not to call back. Why was he being so pushy..Has anyone else had this problem?

Next time you get a call from a telemarketer, try using one of those soundboards on the internet with the funny sayings on it. Put the phone up to the computer speakers and let them hear someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice or Dr. Phil's voice answering their questions. It will give you a good laugh & I doubt they will call back again! LOL
If that doesn't deter them, definitely sign up for the do-not-call registry.
