Pitchinkid Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 lol nice. I like to talk to them in the voice of Neal Goldmans dad off of family guy. Theres usually alot of vulgarity that i cant list here, but it usually pertains to some sort of bile movement i had that day. Leave no description out. (I.E. Color, texture, amount.) But Bravo on hooking him for that long, i bet he was salivating over the sale. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted November 12, 2008 Super User Posted November 12, 2008 Dominick, that's great, Dude!! These people have no qualms about wasting our time, but God forbid, we waste theirs. That's classic. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 12, 2008 Super User Posted November 12, 2008 Too cool! A warning to others: NEVER give your credit card number or social security number to ANYONE over the phone unless you initiated the call and know exactly who you are dealing with. ;D ;D ;D Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Sounds like Muddy at his finest. ;D Quote
fish-fighting-illini Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Have you ever thought about signing up for the do not call list? I had someone call me the other day at dinner time no less. They had some bogus opening line. I said " hey I'm on the do not call list you can't call me". They said oh no we are not selling anything. I said "ok then we've got nothing to talk about" click....... Quote

Super User Bassn Blvd Posted November 13, 2008 Super User Posted November 13, 2008 Well done Muddy. Quote
moby bass Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Terrific conversation Muddy. I usually don't get that involved with them. When they ask for me I tell them I'm not here or I say just a minute and put the phone down and go about my business. After a couple of minutes, they're gone. Have you ever heard of the conversation where the homeowner made the telemarketer believe he had just called a number at which location there had been a murder? The homeowner pretended to be a police detective and began to grill an increasingly nervous telemarketer about how well he had known the victim, what was his reason for calling at this time, etc. Absolutely priceless. Someday I'm going to try it. I found a link to it. I didn't realize it was Tom Mabe referred to in a previous post. Still funny! http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2006/telemarketer-prank-p1.php Quote
BASS fisherman Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 That's great!! Next time that happens, go to this website. They have soundboards that you can use to pick on telemarketers. I like the Judge Judy one the best. All her comments are clear and free of whitenoise, and backround noise. http://www.realmofdarkness.net/pranks/celebsoundboardsmain.htm http://www.realmofdarkness.net/sounds/judy/judgejudy-soundboard-1.htm You have to learn the layout of the buttons so you can get good responses and don't clue them into the fact your messing with them. This is a youtube vid using the same soundboard. The caller is a bill collector and stays on the line for over 10 minutes!!! I think it is hilarious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2SXAcBOGBk Quote
mattm Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Has anyone else recieve 314 "2nd" notices that the factory warrany on their vehicle is about to expire. I especially appreciate the fact they take special concern to only bother me on my cellphone. Quote
