How the f uck does a person get people to stop calling me trying to sell me stuff.
I get about 8 phonecalls a night and I've had it! (I'm not exagerating either) Anyone know how to get my number removed from "the list?"

Sadly there is no "Do Not Call" list as in the US (Apparently the Direct Marketing lobby here (AKA The telemarketing scum) can twist arms better up here :rolleyes: Best advice I can offer is use your answering machines call screening feature, it gets rid of most of these parasites, esp. if you have a rather, erm, "unique" answering machine message ( The joys of being an anime geek, you can get voice actors to say some really, really strange things if you tell them its for an answering machine message :lol:) NefCanuck

Believe it or not, what I've found that works is to interrupt them (don't wait, talk over them) and say "I don't buy anything from telephone solicitors/answer surveys/etc" (whatever is appropriate) "Please take me off your call list." Then hang up. Don't wait for a response, just hang up.
Yes, it's rude and it goes against your natural tendency to be polite, but I rarely get calls anymore. TEAM PITA: Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.

What has worked for me is to tell them I am unemployed and then hang up immediately.

I hang up on them usually.
Tonight I had it with the lady. This was the 3rd time in as many months this company had offered me an "unbelieveable" deal at the Cranberry resort in Collingwood. I lost it. PLEASE REMOVE ME FROM YOUR LIST. She said we don't have one, I said bulls***. WHY DO YOU KEEP CALLING ME? I said NO the first 3 times...why do you think I want it now??? She said "I'm just trying to do my job sir" I said... I'M JUST TRYING TO EAT DINNER! And hung up. pisssssss me OFF! WHAT I WANT TO DO IT THIS..... http://www.ebaumsworld.com/2006/07/bergis-mags.html

Yeah, Cranberry is the worst.
I second the unemployed response too. TEAM PITA: Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.

Get "call display".
If you don't recognize the number, don't answer. If it's someone you know they will leave a message. Telemarketers usually call from a 1-800 number. If you don't have call display, you can recognize a telemarketer because there is usually a quiet delay followed by the sound of a busy call centre before they start their spiel. Pick up the phone, don't say hello and then hang up before they start talking.

Totally different meaning from what I expected!! :lol: TEAM PITA: Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.
