That's hilarious Cliff LOL

Judy has had a couple of telemarketers try to bully, harass and threaten dire consequence. Then I get on the line, threaten to hunt the down to his home and spend a few days harassing his family. After all fair is fair." You harass my family, I'll harass yours." We don't get a lot of telemarketers calling any more

Must have had this call about 20 times. I jst say "Computer? What computer? I don't own a computer." Click....

I'm still lost at answering calls from #'s you don't know. Why bother paying the extra for call display.

The problem for us is all the medical phone calls. many from private numbers and offices. Far too many for me to recognize or memorize.

Yep.. definitely hear you there Bruce... we've started answering ALL the "unknown name" ones for some time now. Those that show an area code outside any hospital we frequent.. not so much.

The first time I got this call, I just went silent for a moment. Then I asked, what is a computer? She said oh you know. I go no I really don't know never heard of such a thing. It must be only available in your country, we don't have such things here so please don't call back.... She hung up.

 

Round two, she called back about a week later. I remembered the number, so I said you could please hold while I start recording this conversation!!! I need to know your exact your name speak slowly and clearly so when I forward this to the CRTC it is you who will have to pay the fine, because I told you the last time NOT TO CALL back and I am on the list. Then could you put your supervisor on the line so I can get his name recorded too please.

 

They haven't called back.

The "list" is another useless scam. Just government making a show of doing nothing. Every telemarketing company now routinely calls from rotating phone #s so you rarely get a call from the same # and they bypass the law. Bell Mumbai has been doing that for a few years now.

Well considering the conservatives and liberals to a lesser degree got nailed for robo calling during the last election, it can't be too surprising that no government wants agency wants to be involved with charging a company for breaking the same act LOL. Might get their budget cut or have an entire bill passed making their agency all but useless oh wait the new unelection act just did that.

I also get that call, they can't seem to understand that I don't have a computer, I am online thru telepathy.

I got the same call, claiming they were calling from Microsoft.

I then ask them if they know my son Michael who is with Microsoft (true) and that I use their security program that he installed on my computer...

 

"Sorry to bother you" and a quick hang-up on their end...

[glen]

They are calling all of you guys by mistake.

 

They are trying to call all of the weak of mind people so they can rip them offf. And it must work or they would stop calling. Lots of weak people to rip off and they don't often report it. Hope it's not you when your old.

Scum bags.
