TrophyHusband 0 #1 March 10, 2009 i've been getting about a call a day each on my cell phone and my wife's cellphone, and one every few days on the home phone from some company trying to sell me a warrenty for our car. we're also averaging about 1 letter or postcard per day. this is getting really fucking annoying. what the fuck is with calling my cell phone? i've told them several times to remove my numbers from their list, but the calls keep coming. who do i report this to, and can they get in trouble for this? can i charge them money for cell my cell phone minutes they use. fuck these assholes. if they don't stop calling my, they will become my new hobby.

Nataly 38 #2 March 10, 2009 Just keep asking *them* really inappropriate questions.. Examples: -what are you wearing? (in a husky voice) -did you know I'm not wearing any underwear? (moan softly) -I'm grabbing my hard cock.. Does this turn you on? If by this point they haven't hung up you're in *real* trouble!!! But I think most people wouldn't make it to the third question!!

chiquita24 0 #5 March 10, 2009 Do you have AT&T? My sister was getting these calls repeatedly too! Same thing-something about her cell phone and another trying to sell a car warranty or something. She registered with the do not call thing, and it took like a month or so, but as far I know they've stopped calling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #6 March 10, 2009 I get those on my work cell and office phone. They've all been messages, not actual calls. Maybe it's time to add those numbers to the registry."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

pilotdave 0 #7 March 10, 2009 I have fun with them. My goal is to find out the name of the company that's actually calling. I once tracked down a company that was sending me spam and spoke with their lawyer on the phone. Well, he was supposedly their lawyer. The secretary was nice until I asked what it's like to work for a spammer. She did not like that question. I was getting the car warranty thing on my work phone for a while. It was a recording... press 1 to speak with a representative. They ask for the make and model of your car... so instead i asked what company he was calling from. Click. Next time, first thing I said was "Don't hang up. What company do you work for?" He responded, "that's gonna get you hung up on." Click. Third time, I got a woman. She actually gave me the name of the company. I googled them and found that they are the skyride of the car warranty world... complete fraud. They haven't called back. I was really looking forward to it. When I was in college, I had the regulation that made telemarketing calls to cell phones illegal printed out at my desk. Got a phone from "visa" or something. Got the telemarketing company's name and asked the guy if he knew the call was illegal. He said it wasn't. I told him that he had called my cell phone, and that was illegal. He said he didn't know it was a cell phone, but it didn't matter because that's the number I gave his company. I reminded him that I didn't give his company my number. He said "oh, well this is what your university provided." Aha! Anyway, I asked for a written apology. I got a form letter explaining their do not call policy. I wasn't satisfied.

fossg 0 #9 March 10, 2009 Since I've been deployed when I get calls like that I ask a lot of dumb questions and extend the conversation out. I figure they call me and hence they get billed for the overseas charge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let them go through their entire spiel, then ask them if you have to pay the full price yourself, or if it can be divided among all the passengers on the bus. The call won't cost any less, but you may get a certain satisfaction out of messing with them.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
