katiemae80 rated 3 months ago- I usually don't answer the phone if I don't know who it is but if I did this script would work quite well.

- I almost left this site as my first reaction to a very bleak looking homepage. BUT... after reading I thought, "Oh, very interesting indeed." :-)

- The way I get rid of telemarketers is to refer them to "The Man of the House". He's 5. My Mom tells them the person they're asking for is vacationing in Paris. Indefinitely.

- The easiest way to get rid of a telemarketer without being rude is to tell them you work for their company.

- I've had a lot of calls from very rude telemarketers - I spent 8 1/2 years at call centers doing various tech support/customer service/administrative crap - I know that there is no reason to be rude on the phone unless you wish to be fired - especially on outbound calls - anyways I found this page & thought it was pretty a pretty solid wall to the bs probulating techniques used by many outbound telemarketing companies - I'm quoting the entire page - in your face anti-from the page guy... From the page: "Telemarketers always use a script: why shouldn't you? [Feedback] What to say when they call if you don't want junk calls Every time you get a call you consider junk, just ask the questions in this script. If they answer no, you may be able to sue them. Be sure to put your phone number on the National Do-Not-Call registry by visiting http://donotcall.gov or by calling 1-888-382-1222. 1. ``Are you calling to sell something?'' (or ``is this a telemarketing call?'') 2. ``Could you tell me your full name please?'' $ 3. ``And a phone number, area code first?'' $ 4. ``What's the name of the organization you're calling for?'' $ 5. ``Does that organization keep a list of numbers it's been asked not to call?'' $ 6. ``I would like my number(s) put on that list. Can you take care of that now?'' $ 7. ``And does the company you work for also make telemarketing calls for any other organizations?'' (If they answer no, skip the next question.) 8. (If yes) ``Can you make sure your company won't call me for any other organization?'' $ You may need to ask to speak with a supervisor if they sound lost. When you're ready to let them off, you might close with ``Is it clear that I never want telemarketing calls from anyone?'' and just say goodbye. If you feel like making them pay, keep going: 1. ``Will your company keep my number on its do-not-call list for at least ten years?'' $ 2. ``And does your company have a written policy that says that on paper?'' $ 3. ``Can you send me a copy of it?'' $ 4. ``What's your supervisor's first and last name?'' 5. ``What's your employer's business name, address and main telephone number?'' 6. ``Are you calling for a tax-exempt nonprofit organization?'' 7. ``Is this call based on a previously established business relationship?'' Before hanging up, check you have all their answers written down, then say goodbye. Add the date and time to your record. (Is it between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m.? $) Disclaimer: nothing here should be taken as legal advice. If they answer no to any question ending in ``$'' you may be able to sue them for $500-$1500 under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. But if the answer to either of the last two questions is yes, then the Act doesn't consider the call to be a solicitation, so it's not covered by many of its regulations. Also excluded are calls to business numbers. For more details, see our pages on federal laws and on how to reduce telemarketing calls and junk mail."
