These idiots use a robot to call my house EVERY DAY. If you don't answer, it leaves the long boring message on your answering machine. If you answer, you have to hit 1 to talk to a person. That person is just the human forwarder, a "dumb switch" between the phone call victim (YOU) and the closer. If you ask the dumb operator in the middle to remove you from the call list, they will just hang up.
If you don't mind your private telephone being used as someone else's advertising avenue, then read no further, you are not damaged. If you DO mind paying for someone else's advertising and being distubed by an unwanted call while you are relaxing and doing nothing, or busy working on something important. THEN,
Tell them you have at least (depending on the day) $3,000 or $5,000 in credit card debt that you would like to consolidate. Tehy say they have a government program that will "force" your creditors to only charge you 2% interest while you pay off your debt in liesure!
I keep them going for 3-5 minutes to waste their time, since this is the only thing they understand. If you ask to be removed, they will say they will and you will get another call in 2 days. Just document all the times they call and report them to the FCC. You can bet they are not reputable if they are using telemarketing robots to look for customers. How stupid would you have to be to listen to a telemarketer's promises?
