Telemarketers from calling you?????

I had these guys trying to call me since saturday morning 830, from the same number every singe day. Its really starting to bug me and I know they are telemarketers because they always ask for me by name, and are starting off the conversation with you just won.....yadda yadda. By then i have already hung up. But these c$%ksuckers insist on trying to sell me something god knows what.

And to top it all off, they call me on my cell phone!!!! How the hell did they get my cell phone number??????? Goddamn c$%ksuckers, motherf$%kers!!!!!

Yeah and their phone number is 1 877 361 5222. They are always calling from the same number. But hey for any single guys out there, the girl sounds kinda cute on the phone so give her a call. But the other guy is a bit of a prick.

Okay all in all, how do you get rid of these people????

when in college we used to play hot potato with the phone when a telemarketer called. As soon as you knew it was a telemarketing call, you tell them to hold on a second and then pass the phone, the next person would then put the phone to his or her ear to make sure the person has not hung up, and then passes the phone again..the person holding the phone when they finally hang up loses. It is amazing how long some soliciters will wait .

I had a call from a telemarketer on Sunday telling me I had just won a new Lexus SC430. All I had to do was come get it. I said "What color?" The reply "red." I said "I don't want red, I'll get speeding tickets. Do you have any other color?" "No." "Well, I don't want it. If you heve any other color, I'll come get it right now." "No only red." "OK, goodbye." Superviser calls. Repeat conversation (thinking I was serious). "OK, goodbye." Another supervisor calls. Same conversation + "I don't want a f*cking red car, God damnit. What part of 'I don't want red' don't you understand, you f*cking moron?" Click. Another person calls. Repeat conversation + "OK, I've changed my mind, but you have to deliver it." "No, you have to come get it." "I don't want it that badly, so I guess I'm not interested." Click. Another person calls and I let it go on the answering machine. That was fun for awhile, then it got old.
