Get Teleblend, and block individual numbers...they will never ever get through again. Though if you look at your call log, you can still see that they are calling... dumbasses. I will never go back to traditional phone services. I love having the ability to blocking individual people or telemarketers! Fantastic. Well.. if you are sick of it, then do what I did.

If enough people tell them that they will realize that annoying people at home by repeatedly calling them is wrong and you should not do it even if your boss asks you to! Get a job where you are not being forced to do something wrong! Yes.. telemarketers are at fault too!

And for those of you taking up for that person. BoofreakinHoo. Anyone who takes a telemarketing job should expect to be yelled and cursed at. It's part of what they get paid for - you know, kinda like job at a coal mine. You know what your job is so you shouldn't be surprised when you're dirty at the end of the day. And not all telemarketing jobs pay bad. I bet she doesn't like getting called at her house like I just did from this stinking number at 8:59PM. I don't answer these calls but wanted to know what kind of "company" had such terrible business practice as to call my house this late, so here I am. Wonder if anyone will ever read this?

I think getting 13 calls from this number since yesterday afternoon is RUDE!!!!!!!! I have no clue who is on the other end. It says telemarketer. If it is Discover, I have never had nor will I ever have a Discover card so I don't know why they would call me. Interestingly, I have found several different listings for this number on other sites like this one. One of the people said it is a survey asking who you are going to vote for. I have Comcast phone service which allows me to block numbers. I put this one in so hopefully I won't hear from these idiots again. Some may consider yelling at a telemarketer rude.

The minimum wage that she makes does not entitle her to extra abuse from you. Yes, telemarketing calls suck, but so does getting yelled at all day by people for doing your job. And, it wasn't her who decided that it would take weeks to remove your name. The girl did not deserve to be yelled at like that.

Today I got another call and pointed out (very calmly and politely) that it was more than 30 days since my last request to not be called. She said that this was a "new" calling list now. I then replied (calmly, plainly and not at all in a rude voice): "so then you are saying that in 2 months I will have to ask to be removed again when you have another "new" list? She rudely hung up on me at that point... I think we know who the jerks are here HAL9000. If you are doing a job that requires you to be rude, then get a different job.

Someone wants me to buy an extended warranty for my car. What they don't know is, the newest vehicle I own is a 1991 Chevy Pickup. I never actually take these calls, because I never turn my cell phone on unless I need to make a call. I just let everything go to voice mail, which I check a couple of times a day. I used to get a lot of bill collector calls for whoever had the number before I got it. But I finally got those stopped. At home, I never answer calls fro toll free numbers. Just let them go to the answering machine. No thank you, I am not interested in participating in your "survey". I get marketing calls on my cell phone almost every day.
