Rude telemarketers from Cell C

[w1z4rd]

Not cool from the Cell C dude.

However, after the first attempt at politely telling them you not interested, I don't know why you didn't just drop the call.

I have even stopped going the polite route, and as soon as I hear its a telemarketer, I drop the call immediately. They don't phone me back.

I ask them to tell me all about the special, then put the phone in my pocket and carry on with life.

Me: Hello?
Them: Hi I'm from CellC/FNB/Dial Direct/etc., how are you today?
Me: Good thanks.
Them: The reason I'm calling you is because you qualify...
Me: Piss off *click*.

:LOL!

I don't know why people get so worked up over these things. Due to the ludicrous amounts of telemarketing these days I've made a habit of not answering any calls unless they're from people I know (on my contact list). If anyone else is looking for me urgently they can leave a voice message. Simple.

Not an option for work-related calls. Takes more time to check voicemail than simply answering the call and telling them to piss off.

I've never in my life recieved such a call.

I've never in my life recieved such a call.

Lucky you...
I've opted out

I just politely tell them I'm busy and hang up without giving them any chance to sell me anything. Easy.

Giving what away for free?

Giving what away for free?

Rewards or something. I don't know. I don't want to sound like a prick, but I really am not interested in their free stuff. I don't need charity.

Last time they called me, they offered me my own personal secretary for R60 a month or something. To assist me with finding plane tickets, tips on the stock market and I don't know what else. When I said I'm not interested, the bloke on the other line wanted an explanation on why not. How could I possibly refuse this magnificent offer. They're thanking me by letting me pay them R60 more a month, for a useless service.

If they dial my 081 number I let them speak as long as they wanto to... until they realise that I am not llistening to them! Free minutes for me!
