Legal Question

UphoricSHD · 10-29-2008, 04:21 PM

So I'm receiving A LOT of calls from toll free numbers and I'm interested in knowing a little more about "harassment" in the courts.

A little log of toll free calls:
8:21am 10/29
8:52am 10/29
12:45pm 10/29
5:00pm 10/29
5:10pm 10/29

Help?

Why would you want to take them to court?
It's more fun ****ing with their heads.

UphoricSHD · 10-29-2008, 04:25 PM

o ya it totally is!

I'm just curious is all ^_^!

DoctorSerpentine · 10-29-2008, 04:28 PM

If it's the same dude that's pretty weird.
Best thing to do is to tell them to take them off their "list", that way they can't call you again.

To elaborate on what DoctorSerpentine said, request that your number be put on the National No-Call List, and telemarketers will leave you alone from then on.

P.S That's nothing - my family used to get over 20 solicitation calls a day until we had our number placed on the list - 5 isn't so bad.

Omg twenty?!

TD_boredom · 10-29-2008, 04:42 PM

20 is pretty extreme. Most I've had in a day was like...13.

**lumphoboextreme** · 10-29-2008, 04:42 PM

just pick up and hang up?

**Bynary Fission** · 10-29-2008, 04:43 PM

Yup. I'm not sure what caused it, but my mom runs a pottery business, so as you can imagine, she was constantly calling people and getting supplies from tons of places...I have little doubt that telemarketers could easily get a hold of her number, especially since it's posted on her website.

I just pick up, say obscenities, hang up, pick up again and if their still there say more obscenities, Then repeat until they go away.

Sullyman2007 · 10-29-2008, 06:20 PM

Yeah, do what Bynary said and have your name put on that list. We used to get them a lot and it would really piss my mom off. Naturally I found ways to have fun with it.. like tell them to 'hold on a sec' and then just leave the phone in a closet.

Ninja'd. Doing that always brightens up my day.

My brother was a telemarketer. The job sucks, but the pay was good.

**funmonkey54** · 10-29-2008, 08:14 PM

I want to cal a telemarketer and ask them to buy something. That would be funny.

**Kairon** · 10-29-2008, 08:33 PM

Telemarketers can be annoying, but on the other hand, now that we're on the no call list, I kind of miss screwing around with them.

If a telemarketer calls you, just say "Oh, I'm sorry, I can't talk. We don't have a phone." And that seems to hold them for a couple of minutes.

Necamus · 10-29-2008, 09:32 PM

People still use phones?

**Tasselfoot** · 10-29-2008, 09:36 PM

on my old land line, i had caller ID... and got a call from the Police Chiefs Association... they usually wanted me to donate my old car for some reason... but it was always fun answering the phone as a police department. They would always get confused and hang up.

dicking with telemarketers is so much fun... pity i rarely get any calls from them on my cell.

**25thhour** · 10-29-2008, 09:39 PM

We had one call last night at like 3:30...

Picked it up and left in on all night.

xD

**phe0nixblade** · 10-29-2008, 09:40 PM

whenever i see the phone say a number i dont know i normally pick it up and yell **** you
i stopped because one time
it was my grandma calling from a new cell
i didnt get xmas presents that year

**sarahxjane** · 10-30-2008, 02:28 AM

Telemarketers are trying to get a paycheck.
They put up with a lot of crap from the people they call.

With that said, I've always wanted to mess around with one.
