Next time you get a live person, act like you`re hard of hearing. That one really pisses them off.
That is the problem. I'm so sick of the 'final notice to move my credit card, etc...'
I'm a day sleeper. When they call I am hard of hearing {over 50% loss} that don't bother them. I've also acted like jihad Joe the irate Arab bathing his goat, Pedro the Mexican thinking yelling that he getting free money praise Obama, I've even though about doing the Tom Mabe bit where the telemarketer calls a homicide scene and gets a detective. They just call back several more times that day.
Like I said if they hear please, don't, or stop, they will hang up before you finish and call you back several more times that day. It is flat out harassing phone calls It shouldn't matter a computer program aka auto dialer is used to do it.
Someone has a huge vested interest in giving them some major phone line trunking service. For what they are pulling off I'd say about 1000 lines or so. I would dearly love to have the CEO's home and cell phone numbers for some 3:00am telecommunication payback. Which brings up another point. Cell companies or at least mine seem to enforce the law on calling cell phones for soliciting. If I had more reliable cell service here in the boonies I'd end my land line service.
