Ideas please

[nirvana]

We have these people from Chase Bank that seem to call constantly, well I got a little angry one night and went off on one of them, it made me and my sister laugh afterwards, anywho I was wondering if any of you had a particular favorite prank to pull on them.  Phone sex, hillbilly household, etc.

For a female sales person...

Do this with heavy breathing...

What is your name?
Are you married?
What are you wearing?
Where do you live?
Are you at home now?
When will you be home?

They'll usualy hang up after the third question.


For a male sales person...

'Santa Cruz Polise Department, phone fraud hotline.'

I've never gotten a response to this just 'click'.

[VooWho]

My friend told me these people kept calling for his parents every morning during the summer. One day him and his sister got up early and sat by the phone and they picked up the phone and it was the sales people. This is how the call goes.

Ben: Hello
Sales Person: Hello Sir would you blah blah blah
Ben: Um I'm not sure, hold up let me get my wife she handles these kinds of things and I don't.
SP: Thank you sir
(Off the phone)
Ben: KATIE GET IN HERE! THE PHONES FOR YOU!

Katie: Hello.
SP: Hello ms. I'm am blah blah blah
Katie: Hmm I don't know let me get my husband he handles these kinds of things.
(Off the Phone)

Katie: BEN THE PHONE IS FOR YOU! GET YOUR A. IN HERE!
Ben: GOD D#MN WOMAN WHAT DO YOU WANT!

Ben: Hello
SP: Hello sir I was blah blah blah
Ben: Hold up let me get my wife she handles these kinds of things.
(Off the phone)

Ben: KATIE GET YOUR FINGER OUT YOUR A. AND GET ON THIS PHONE! PUT YOUR UNDERWEAR ON I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT IT!

Katie: Hello
SP: (Says same thing)
Kaite: Let me get my husband

Katie: BEN GET IN HERE, STOP PLAYING WITH YOU %$&* AND GET ON THIS PHONE! I HATE YOU SO MUCH!
Ben: I HATE YOU WOMAN I WISH YOU WOULD DIE! OMG CAN'T I JUST WATCH GIRLS GONE WILD!

Ben: Hello
SP: (Hangs up phone and never calls again.)

They didn't call for a day or 2 after I went apesh** on the one girl.  But I think i've got some more stuff to try now:D

[john9001]

nothing dramatic, i just hang up.

[Dichotomy]

simple fix... if we don't recognize the number on caller id we don't answer it.  All our personal calls come on the cell phones.  The message on my answering machine is the tone that says 'we're sorry the number you have dialed is no longer in service.. blah blah blah'  Been that way for a few years and it hardly ever rings anymore

I only have a landline for internet and to fill in the blanks on forms.

[GtoRA2]

If they are selling something, act interested, then say "I want 50$off that of I am going to beat my wife."

Then yell out her name and start making noises like it.

Have her scream a bit.

Make sure you havnt given your address yet though.

[Mickey1992]

Learn some common phrases in a foreign language (Spanish doesn't count).    Your number will be flagged as a non-English/Spanish speaking residence and they will no longer call you.

some time ago one of our local newspapers kept calling, and calling, and calling, and calling. Trying to get us to subscribe.

Finally the last time the woman called I started talking to her.
then suddenly stopped her mid sentace. and the conversation went something like this

Me- Wait a sec. You know you have a REALLY nice voice

Her- Why thank you very much

Me no really. it a very nice voice.

Her- Well thank you

Me- can you tell me something

Her- Sure, go ahead

Me- ( in a deep throaty  and somewhat shaky voice) "Do you have large breasts?"

::Click::


Never heard from her again

My sister did a good one.
One Telamarketer who kept calling asked for  "the man of the house"

So she handed the phone to her 4 year old son

Try Chase Home Finance, they say I can apply for a few different credit cards with really low rates because of my great credit rating. I don't want another credit card, I'd like to keep my credit rateing like it is so I can buy a house someday

You can tell phone solicitors to remove you from their calling list.  Make sure you write down the name of the telemarketing company, the name of the operator, date and time of the call.  If they call you again, you can take them to small claims court and sue them for up to $500.


ack-ack

[nirvana]

Damn, we could remodel the house if we'd done that Ack Ack.  I personally don't like to hear the phone ring and for some reason you can't mute the ringer on our phones or I don't know how so I usually pick up and then hang up.  We've been taken off the "Calling list" several times:rolleyes:

[eskimo2]

Me: Hang on a second.

Set the phone down...
Go back to whatever I was doing.



Ploy #2, hand phone to my 1 year old.

[storch]

I just place them on hold and leave them there.

Having done rock format radio for 23 years, phone-pranking was always in the stable of stuff to pull when I didn't have something else going...it's just tooooooooooo easy...

For getting rid of pesty telemarketers....this always works:

Telemarketer:  "Calling for (your name here)...

You:                  (LONG PAUSE) May I ask who is calling? (low voice)

Telemarketer: "I'm (their name) from (company name)....

You:                  (LONG PAUSE--sound slightly choked up) "Oh, man, I guess you haven't heard....he died....

ALL you will hear is a dialtone after that, and they almost always cut you out of their obnoxious database...
