Telemarketers are getting tricky. I just had one call me, and when I picked up the phone, they said "Karla?" like they knew me or something. Which roped me into saying "Yes?" and them pitching their product. Geez.
And I've never gotten so many telemarketing calls, as I have living in Idaho!

I think its funny taht most telemarketers can't pronounce my last name correctly for the life of them... lol...

We havent had as many telemarketers lately... We used to get these calls where I would answer, and all I'd get were some clicks, then a dial tone. Those were the worst telemarketers, personally

You know what those ones are doing? They're testing to see when people pick up the phone, and then they have people call back at those times. The best thing to do is hit the pound button a bunch of times, then hang up

really? I didnt know that...

what I like are the telemarketers who act like you REALLY need their product... glass companies used to call our place a lot, asking if we need new windows on our house. I just say some smartass thing like "since when did windows have a two-year lifespan? You can come over here and break our two year old vinyl windows and install yours! 'course your paying for it"

they usually hang up... lol
