Telemarketer Calls Are Getting Out Of Hand
Posted on 5/17/18 at 8:51 pm
Posted on 5/17/18 at 8:51 pm
Today I had 7 different voice mails from 7 different numbers.. and each voicemail was the same. It was some bullshite about being approved for a loan and that if I do not respond soon the offer will expire.
I block the numbers when they call, but today I would block a number, an hour or so later I would get another call. It would show that it was from Zachary, Albany, Baker, New Orleans.. I had one from Indian Hills, Nevada. What the hell are these people doing to get a new number to call from so quick?

Don't even think about not taking their call.

No. I don't answer them, that's why they are going to my voice mail.

Lately I’ve, especially when they call during working hours, been telling them to hang on a minute so I can get somewhere o can talk then just leave my phone on my desk until they hang up.
frick them. Hanging up just means they’ll move on. I’ll keep them tied up as long as they’re willing to hold.

I'm going to do that next time.

There are apps that will tell you if it’s a telemarketer. Some apps will even answer for you and frick with them by keeping them on the line for as long as possible.

I sometimes go with mocking an Asian accent with a lisp,
"Thank you for colling China-Star, home of the Pho King Egg-wolls..." then they say..what...I'm calling for LaBR4..then I say a little angry,
No! This is China-th-star! You want De-liv-ree?

They have number generators now for ID that either show up in cities you might answer or phone numbers that appear to be close to your number. A little while back, the do not call registry expired and you need to resubmit. Here is the official .gov link and it’s made them all disappear for me.
Do Not call registry link
It doesn’t take much time and there’s plenty of sites out there explaining how the old registry expired

this is actually a damn good point...gotta pick up and say a little something to extend the wait time, too.
