Oh I like that number 2. I’ve never done number 3, or numbers 1 and 2 for that matter, but of course you could just send them back. Brilliant.

Yardape #3 told a telemarketer last week that I had died! Then she very cheerfully hung up the phone.

These are awesome. Too bad I pay all my bills online, but I can definitely do the telemarketer one!

Beckeye I’ve done the Hello! Hello! bit too. I think wehave a do not call registry but no one knows how to get one it

Dick, I think you’ve said that when I’ve called in the past???

Once I answered “Hello, Dick’s Emporium, how may I direct your call?” and the lady asked if she had called a business. I replied “yes” and she apologized and hung up.
So I’m thinking they are not allowed to telemarket to businesses, or they are not targeting businesses. Either way it seemed to work. I usually just hang up when I hear the one second of dead air, so don’t talk to them much these days.

Ever since I got on that Do Not Call list, I don’t get telemarketers anymore. But the one time, I tried to mess with one by repeatedly yelling, “Hello? HELLO??” into the phone like I couldn’t hear her. I had to hang up after the 4th hello because I couldn’t not laugh while I was doing it.
