Death To All Telemarketers!

PornoDoggy · 12-09-2002

Just got a phonecall from the "National Telemarketing Abuse Center" regarding my request to be removed from telemarketing lists. They were kind enough to point out that I was on 57 such lists, and the national average is only 17. They were so concerned about the number of lists I was on that they offered to send me a "free" Telezapper, because it would take 3-4 months to get me off all those lists.

The cost for this great public service? Only $2.99 a month for ten years!!!

hmmmm.... I have an idea.

"" To be removed from my mail lists call 1 800 END SPAM ( acharge of 2.99 will be levied) ""

RawAlex · 12-09-2002

Nick, you may not be wrong... use a 900 number for your cancellation line...

or a long distance that terminates in $25 a minute land.

It might be the best thing to happen to spam (oh sorry, non-negative permission marketing) in years

You know Alex, it might just work........

I see the potential for getting a stripey suntan though .

RawAlex · 12-09-2002

Yeah, but a stripey suntan is just proof that you really outdid yourself, no?

It would have to be from a company registered in Hong Kong or China... chinese IP.. chinese phone number... :-)

I'll give it a miss

Why would I risk a multi-million dollar business for a few ten thousand more?

You should consider it though.

This is why I like Nick. (no, not in that way even though there is nothing wrong with it.) Instead of looking at things as problems, he sees them as opportunities.

PD - I understand your ire but ...
I have to say it's a good pitch he he he

Find a need and fill it with someone else's labor

That's fucking brilliant!

Kind of like the spam zappers spamming people

Hmmm, maybe I'll have to call my buddy who still runs a couple call centers.....I have a good wholesale source on the Tele-Zappers too...

I used to come up with all kinds of nice little ideas to piss off telemarketers. The latest was just to say "hold on, let me get him for you" and then put down the phone. This will piss them off cause they have quotas to make and they just waste a minute or two on you. BUT, this doesn't piss them off enough to remove you from the list so they keep calling. I finally just realized the best way is to ask them to take you off their f'ing list

PornoDoggy · 12-09-2002

Well, Jesse, then you too could get an offer for a free Telezapper ...

Sword · 12-09-2002

I read an article on CNN a few days ago about a telemarketer that repeatedly called a woman that refused to buy what he was selling. He got angrier and angrier, and finally threatened to rape her. The funny thing is, she finally quit answering the phone, and the dumbass left the rape threat on her answering machine!

Needless to say, police are investigating.

Speaking of spam, this is the lastest piece of shit. Grrr. :grrr:

Double Opt-Out lists for lists you never joined in the freaking first place!!!

You click the link to remove, and it says, we will now send you an email, and you will have to click the link in that email to actually be removed. If you don't we won't remove you. We do this for your protection, just in case someone is trying to wrongly remove you from our list.

Brillantly evil! I have to love and hate those fuckers!!!

PS - I see Nick's head wheels a-turning already!

Nickatilynx · 12-10-2002

Thanks..I know have two emails from you in my logs

Anyone want to buy double optin lists.I have both emails including the confirmation?
