Trolling Telemarketers: 17th October 2012

I seem to be getting tons of telemarketers calling me nowadays, so I have decided to start a new series chronicling how I troll them.

Past examples can be read in the spam blog label.

Meanwhile, here are new ones:

I told a telemarketer I just got diagnosed with cancer so I wasn't in the mood to sign up for any credit cards.

"Did I get you at a good time?"
"No, it's a bad time, I don't like telemarketers calling me"
"Ok, thanks, bye"

Telemarketer called and asked to speak to "the owner of this number". She didn't believe me when I said the owner wasn't around, so I had to hang up on her.

One telemarketer asked me to a free gold seminar. I told her I was allergic to gold.

I got a call promoting the Bank of China. I told her I was a customer of the Bank of India, so I couldn't support them.

I told one the only spas I go to are gay spas. Her reply? "Don't worry, you don't need to pay anything"

"Are you a customer of Prudential?"
"It's my policy not to support companies that do telemarketing. Bye bye"
