Junk Phone Calls can probably easily be stopped.
Junk Calls
Junk Phone Calls – where in hell do those guys get your number in the first place especially for those on cell phones?
I mean, it’s not that there’s a cell phone directory is there?
Answers on a postcard please.
Before going further, why do they call up in the first place if no-one wants them?
So I suppose there are people who respond to them otherwise why do it?
I mean who are these people who respond to the sales pitch?
Are they really that desperate to buy something that they don’t want – I assume they don’t want it as they would have already bought whatever it is.
So you get this annoying call – they always seem to ring at an inconvenient time – and you can counter this by reacting to them by:
-
going on and on about something irrelevant – rather like me.
-
speaking in a foreign language.
-
replying using song titles.
-
pretending they’ve reached voicemail.
-
saying they’ve got the wrong number.
-
trying to sell them something.
-
telling them that you are a competitor.
-
saying yes to every question.
-
repeating back everything they say.
-
pretending that you know them.
-
telling them that they have dialled the police.
These ideas are all good and may be satisfying but but personally, I like to see if I can make them think that the call might cost THEM money.
So, may I suggest you answer them by:
-
saying that this call will cost the caller $200 (or what ever amount you decide) per second and by continuing with this call you agree to the charge specified.
-
transferring the call, if you can and is technically feasible) to one of those premium rate numbers.
-
finding out their organisation or number and transfer the call to themselves.
