I got a call and called it back from another number and it was some police fundraiser. If your sick of getting these calls do this:
1. Answer the phone, very politely
2. Listen to their pitch, then interrupt them in the middle of their sentence and quickly ask them if you can get their home number so you can call them back.
3. Thier response will definately be that they cant give thier home number out.
4. Respond very apathetically, "Yes, I'm sorry, you probably don't want anybody calling you at home bothering you"
5. Wait very carefully for them to agree with you, which 100% of the time they will.
6. Then reply " Good because that is exactly how I fell about it too" and then abruptly hang up.
You will not only feel very good, you will look forward to using this line on every telemarketing call Write this down, it works every time. Enjoy!
