I had someone prank call my house looking for the white house. (my last name is white, so they thought they were  being clever) I answered the phone, and as soon as they said they were lookin for the whitehouse, I did my best GW voice, and yelled "Cheney we got some more prank callers!"

They hung up fast.

Me: Hello
Lady: Hey, you gonna come get the kids today?
Me: huh?
Lady: you gonna come get the kids?
Me: Sorry you have the wrong number. Click

30 seconds later, my phone rings again. I answer it and it was the same lady.

Lady: Are you gonna pick up the kids?
Me: No, im not going to... Click.

I had a telemarketer calling for my wife over a two-day period.  He'd ask for my wife by name, and then when I responded that she wasn't home, and ask if I could take a message, he'd just hang up.  After a few recurrences, I could recognize his voice when he asked for her, so I switched tactics and asked if I could tell her who was calling.  All he'd do is give me his first name, and hang up if I asked what he was calling about.

So, I switched gears again.  The next time he called I simply said "Sure, hang on" and set the phone down in the laundry basket (my wife wasn't home).  A few minutes later I picked the phone up and asked "Did she pick up yet?" and he said "no, not yet".  "Oops, I'm sorry, lemme go get her" I said, and set the phone back in the basket...  He didn't call back.

TElemarketers are getting better, as one of you guys mentioned. they're starting to ask for people by name now, whereas in the past, they used to ask for the owner.

 because of this, it doesn't matter who's calling....i'm not here, till i know who i'm talking to.

 there's one particularly annoying company......they use 2 names. ics solutions, and icon. they're a ripoff company, that supposedly does credit card processing.

 i'm setting up a recorder to play in the backround next time i hear from them....gonna be something like "ok, we're tracing the call now" or something similar.  :devil

Had some telemarketers call me asking for my dad. And every time I spoke to them I told them not to call this numbered as it is not his. So I finally got tired...
This call was around september, I'll try to recreate it as best as I can.

Them: Hello this is (don't remember the company name) could I speak to (my dad's name)?
Me: He is not available at this number.
Them: Could you ask him to give us a call at (some number)
Me: No, you been calling me me every two weeks for the past 6 month asking to talk to him and every time I told you guys that he is not available at this number. Let me ask you something, do you know what state (my dad's name) lives in?
Them: Yes, New York
Me: Well I live in Arizona so I'm sure it's a lot easier for you to go talk to him your self.
Them: We apologize (hung up)

Then never called me again.  :devil

2 summers ago, a 19 yr old woman called my grandparents house.


she was asking for Ray (my grandfather).

when we asked her why, she said that she wanted to tell him that he's the father of her child.....


....when my grandfather was 85  :huh
