How to Terrorise Telemarketers
Oh this has made me crack up laughing!
http://www.yayhooray.com/thread/3614...-Telemarketers
One of the funniest things I have heard ever. And I've only listened to the first three!
Apologies if old...

Re: How to Terrorise Telemarketers
damnit, that's impossible for me to listern to. it's all choppy, like trying to talk to someone on a mobile phone in a tunnel

Re: How to Terrorise Telemarketers
Oh yes it's hilarious calling someone who's working at tech support or harrassing a telemarketer or something and wasting their time with another hilarious prank that cause it's funny to you must be funny to everyone else.
Seriously.....
The only funny prank call I've heard and it was done jeez 2-3 years ago was someone phoning a sex line and roleplaying counterstrike sex, now that was funny shit.
Phoning up regular people doing a regular job just to prank em is like as funny as punching yourself in the face (as funny as that is to you of course). Being a telemarketer is a shit job, I've watched people work those jobs, if you think they are getting some satisfaction out of harrassing you at home, they aren't, it's cause they are trying to make a living, you know employment etc and it's the only thing going that would employ them at the time.... and some of these people CAN do better things it's just that employment opportunities in the area's you want to be employed in are overrated and rarely crop up.
Seriously get a ****ing life if you find this shit amusing...... it's the people who do sex lines on premium rate numbers that you should pick on imo.

Re: How to Terrorise Telemarketers
Yes there is an opt-out list in the UK.
People generally just aren't aware of it.

You have to pay to go ex-directory, or are you talking about something else?

Something else. There is a list of people you should not call (which any household can put their name on), and if telemarketers call it they can be fined, etc.
It takes a few weeks to work apparently, but it is effective (I'm told).

tech support isn't so funny, but harassing telemarketers is better, because you waste the money of that company and drive them a little closer to bankruptcy.

For ****s sake you idiot, did you listen to them? it's the telemarketers phoning up the prankster. The amount of shit phonecalls I get both at home and at uni pisses me off.
They're like junk mail and spam emails, completely useless and annoying for 99% of the population.
To be honest a small bit of comedy would lighten up my day as a telemarketer, and most of the ones in that list are so stupid they don't realise that they are being pranked.

I think you'll find that's a losing proposition as the telemarketing company is undoubtably paying their drones minimum wage. Of course, if your time is worth even less than that...

It is not just that, you are also depriving them of sales they could be making.

people pay a fortune to go into the comedy club or their TV licence to watch funny stuff, so if one finds harassing telemerketers amusing, then just do it. Of course if one does it just to attempt to bankrupt the company, then I agree that it would be pointless.
