Anti-Telemarketer Counter-Script.

i usually get this calls at dinner time and would ask them for there name and number that i can call them back. they usually say that do that and hang up or ask why.

My dad always asked them to hold on just a moment and he'd love to answer their questions. Then he'd just leave the phone sitting there until they hung up.

If I simply ask the telemarketer what they are wearing, they hang up on me.

Stuart, the post actually has a link to Martijn Engelbregt's webpage. See if you can find it (it's near the top).

i much prefer the Henry Rollins approach to telemarketers: briefly ask general stuff about them, then start applying obvious pick-up lines and techniques, heavy breathing included. Totally ignoring their questions and being pushy about it keeps you on the line and in control, which is hou you want to have it if you want to enjoy it. Never tried it myself, not much telemarketing action in my country, but i imagine it must be as funny as effective! And if the guy/girl goes for it, what the hell, just give bogus data...
