[mommy2skie]

you know how you get a dozen tellemarketers calling every day. well, my friend Brooks, answered one day, and the person on the other end said "who am i speaking to?" brooks said, "who are you looking for?" telemarketer says "im looking for so and so", brokes said "will if they live here there not home, im just here robbing the place" and hung up the phone. omg i thought that was funny, and will def. do that next one i get! lol. he said he is surprised he hasnt gotten an officer at the door checking on his home.

That would get them real good,if you get one that speaks english.The last 2 calls I got you could not even understand a word they said.

I heard of one story where they told the telemarketer they were the police investigating a homicide and gave the caller a real hard time. Who were they? Why were they calling? How did they know the victim? Where were they? What was their alibi?.....

Well, you can imagine.....

If only I was that imaginative

I've heard that before about the interrogation of the telemarketer over a "fake" homicide.

It was hilarious.

I just wouldn't be able to stop laughing if i tried to pull that off.

LOL my mom told me one time she was downstairs in our basement and heard the phone ringing, and raced upstairs to answer it, thinking it was my dad or an important call. So when she answered it, naturally she was out of breath and huffing and puffing. It turned out to be a telemarketer, and she huffed into the phone "do you...have any...idea...what you just...interrupted...?" and hung up LOL

We always let my 4 year old answer and talk to them, he loves to talk to anyone who will listen.

Five Words:
This Call Is Being Recorded
Makes them hang up.....

Or for fun, ask them to hold on a minute.
Set the phone down, go back to your life for a few minutes.
If they're still there when you come back- ask them "What are you holding now?"

DH asks them for their home phone number and says he won't discuss anything with them unless he can do to them what they did to him.

I answer: "Hello, <Insert first town or county name I can think of> Morgue"
