These days, the \/I*AGr@ ads and phishing scams are just SO OLD. Whatever it is that these people actually do, don't they realize that 99.999999% of their victim base just tune out?
Who gets bothered by telemonkeys any more? Certainly not YOU.
"Hello, is this Nicholas Robinson?" No, I'm sorry, I'm just housesitting. "Can you tell me when he'll be back?" Yes, on October the 14th. I believe his plane lands at 4:40, although I could be wrong. Would you like me to give you the flight details?
See how pathetic this choice of "work" is, and how more pathetic it gets every day? Sure, my "jokebox" is PACKED with at least 150 emails every day but hey, my mailbox downstairs is packed with crap most of the time, too.
It's like a quiet war: us against them.
And we're winning.
I don't answer the phone anymore unless I recognize the number on call display!!!
ReplyDeleteBell is stupid enough to sell us call display, then try to telemarket us with "Bell Canada" as the caller from a 1-866 number. Uh, I know who you are and I'm not answering!
Darling, darling darling! (If Godini will permit me to call you that!)
ReplyDeleteI have ultimate secret weapons and rules with these people that no one ever know, because WHO wants to know how you're "countersurveillancing the telemarketers"?
Because no one cares, except me.
But if the display has any "8" number in the area code I just ignore it. If I pick up and there is no immediate "Yes . . . " to my Hello I just hang up.
If these people could try to sell you "?<?Gra over the phone, don't you think they would?
You know what they say about TV censorship; if you don't like what you're watching, TURN IT OFF.
More often than not, these days, I choose this option when dat ol' phone thang be rangin.
That would be "Gordini", Gordon. You have not attained Godinihood YET.
