    Default Sure Fire Way to Annoy Indian Telemarketers

    For a while I have been getting these regularly on my mobile about 1730 hrs most days. Now I strike back when i know it is them I try selling them some lawn mowing or gardening and keep interrupting them to do it. It works a treat and pisses them off no end. They now actually hang up on me or better still don't ring back. I am actually getting to enjoy doing it.
    Cheers

    Don't know if this is along the same line of the "chasers black comedy skit" but .
    it seems there are other ways of annoying Indians half their country seems to be talking about all the racist aussie thugs downunder!

    Well I am not racist and I don't abuse them (well maybe a bit). Just give them a bit of their own medicine and try to sell them something, with dogged persistence of course, that they have absolutely no need for, didn't ask for in the first place and probably cannot afford or are even vaguely interested in.

    The most classic reply to date is "But I don't even live in Australia" to which I politely enquired "Well if that is the case why the f*** are you trying to sell me your crap". Mostly I just get an exasperated sigh and they hang up. Works for me

    You can always do the Seinfeld trick and ask them for their home number and tell them you will call them back later.

    Are you on the Do not call register bluey? I have noticed a real reduction in calls from people trying to sell me crap , we still get a lot of calls from charities but My wife has a soft spot for them and always gives money and they must tell each other because we get a few a week but they are exempt from the register anyway.
