You do not get calls from the offers. If your getting any calls it's probably from posting ads on craigslist. If you post your number on there you will get tons of automated calls, which can sometimes also work out fine, because you have have them call you back and show them what really works, instead of some mlm crap they are pushing that having to pay monthly for and not making money fast enough to cover there monthly fees, and monthly advertising! You can show them fusion cash and say I'd rather make free money instead and actually have people glad to sign up and stay with the site and not have to worry about high attrition rates because of not having any monthly fees to deal with and not have to worry about my down lines not doing there jobs.

I had to do this job when I was younger, and they are people that are paying bills, making a living, they do not make a lot of money, and their are generally children, so the next time one calls you pray for the caller, that they find a better way to make ends meet. The only thing that riles me up is a bill collector, I am not talking abut the ones that are nice over the phone, I get frustrated at the mean ones, like the other day, I explained to many differet
I had just gotten out of hospital had surgery on shoulder and leg and other foot ribs were still broken, etc. I explained to this woman that I am on leave from work, med. but do you think she understood?"
Nope she said she would keep on calling, even though I explained how hard it was to get to the phone. these people should not be able to talk like this.


The simplest way to STOP  the irritation of these calls is JUST GET AN OLD FASHIONED ANSWERING MACHINE.

OR you could start quoting the Bible to them, and most likely they will hang up quickly and NOT CALL BACK.

I like that  ;D

            Also, I found out, when they call, tell them that they are being recorded.. ask them for the time, and then tell them that it is an unconvinient time to call you. If they call you at that time again, you will file a lawsuit.  This was on the news. Once you tell them that, they can be sued if they call you .

I only WISH I got more calls, these telemarketers are prime referral prospects. They all have dead end jobs working for minimum wage and live in the USA, what more could you ask for? If getting called bugs you, get a Magic Jack just for Internet use and turn the ringer off so everything goes to voice mail.

hahah! only oldbuddy would think about recruiting
telemarketers  ;D  good thinking.


i only have a cell phone, so any number that's not
blocked is stored in my "recent calls" ... and if its a
recording or telemarketer or something annoying,
i save them in my address book as CRAP.

so, when crap calls at 8 in the morning, i know good
and well to hit the ignore button.


That is such a good idea!   How funny!

I always label those calls with a "z" so they are last on the list and give them a silent ringer.

I did get a call today and they were very nice.  I just told them I was browsing (which I was) and they asked if I wanted to avoid the calls - the CSR said they would removed me/call back if I decide to choose them.

I think one phone call was received, but I immediately told her I wasn't interested.  I have a prepaid phone, so I don't want to waste my minutes on stupid stuff like that.  She's like, well we don't need any credit card information.  I told her I didn't care and to take me off their phone list.  You have to be firm and to the point.  Or you could just hang up, but telling them to take you off the phone list would be more effective.

I started getting lots of calls from educational institutions, who, as soon as I said I wasn't interested (don't remember asking, must have made a mistake and accidently signed up) they just hang up. It wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have to pay for the calls. I recently got screwed by a phone company and am super sensitive with any calls now. No idea why these middle man companies waste cash calling people when email is a lot easier. Unless they find people find it difficult to say no on the phone and easy to delete an email.
