Toronto Star Telemarketers

The worst have to be....windows and doors, and duct cleaning.

I use to get calls from people wanting to give me free estimates on windows and doors until I pretended to be a coked-up pusher waiting for some hos to show up. I even invited the telemarketer to come over so I could lick drugs off her ass. I also ordered 20 some doors and 30some windows. I placed the order for 8:00am Saturday morning. they were using an old number from years ago so they had the wrong address and name. not sure if they showed up but I haven't heard from them since.

I also pretend to be a gay nurse, habdicapped, wife/husband of the deceased person they're calling for. Other times i'll pretend to be masturbating of screwing my wife while answering questions. Once, I pretended to be robbing the house of the person they were looking for. I told them the owned was tied up in the washroom. I then told them I was the ex-husband seeking revenge o nthe bitch who took everything from me. Girlfriend and I were expecting the police to show up last time so I've taken a break. Now I usually tell them to come over and rim me and I'll buy whatever they're selling.

Bell Call Privacy helps a lot, if they are using any kind of blocked number it does not even ring, they get dumped to voicemail.

The star USED to call me for years, so I figured they'd stop calling if I ordered the paper. I did a couple of times and never paid for it. They haven't called in a couple years.

The Star will bug you if you've ever accepted their "free paper" offer. I finally ripped into them and told them after many requests to not be called, I'd never buy The Star..even if it was the last newspaper on Earth...I still got one more call after that! lol

Ok, I have been receiving calls from these assholes for almost four years, on and off. I have requested at least four or five different times to put me on their no-call list, but they keep calling. Isn't it against the law to continue phoning after requesting not to?

I never answer numbers that I don't recognize. Assuming you have call display, just let them ring or get the vox mail.

There really isn't a binding no call list in Ontario. I think your only enforcable option would be to try pressing charges and getting a court order as you would with anyone else making harassing calls.

Another good option is to tell them they've called a business line. Simply say something like "I'm sorry you must have the wrong number. This is Scotia Bank merchant services".

Calling ineligible numbers lowers their productivity so they'd be more dilligent in filtering you from their database. However, if a company uses multiple vendors to pitch their products, they just recycle the original calling list, so you'll need to be coded as a "business" by each of them individually before you stop getting calls.

This threat is almost always a waste of time when dealling with sales pitches from major corporations. The sales agents who call (or knock on doors) are usually employed by a third party vendor who couldn't care less about their client's long term customer relationship. The vending company is paid to meet short term productivity benchmarks and they don't concern themselves with anything beyond that.

Is that the one that comes up as Newspapercall or similar . If so wheres the lineup start to beat them.......

I love it when they call. I usually try to fuck with their heads.
