Why do they keep hanging up?

Hey, the Microsoft guy called me an ahole once after messing with him

 

You have not read my posts, I don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognize and I don't call back.

And the post office... I used to respect them and think they did a good job until I moved to Lynnwood. The post office here is full of idiots who don't keep records, have no idea what's going on and never talk to each other. I will not wast time telling about it.

 

I hate it when I'm rude to someone and they don't notice.

I was rude to a telemarketer once. She said "You don't have to be rude."
I replied "Thank you for noticing."

 

Don't get credit card reps calling, just solar companies. They harass the crap out of us. These solar reps are now walking around Lowes doing the same harassing BS in person, I almost lost my temper with my last encounter.

 

Well recently it was an eastern sounding man who called himself doctor something and the other time I recall it was a woman, always different number

 

Spoofing a caller ID isn't just easy it is built right into any phone system that is worth a damn. We use the feature on everyone of our 47 buildings. Each building has between 75 - 250 phones and when a user places a call outside the building the main number is displayed to the caller id. This way when I place a call I can decide if I want to give my number out or not. I can change that number to literally any number with a few clicks of a mouse.

I am getting more calls than "hang up" calls than ever in my life .. averaging 3-4 on cell each day and 2 on house phone OOMA land line.

Credit cards ... alarms ... business loans ... & etc.

Oh give them a break. They're just trying to spread a little sunshine around.

 

It can be built into the system, sure, but the carrier has to allow it. Usually, depending on the circuit type, they lock down outbound CID to only be your available DID's but often they will open it up to anything: if you do any forwarding to cell phones and want to see the caller's forwarded CID to the cell phone you need to be able to spoof their number.

Spoofing CID on a SIP line is about the stupid easiest thing one could do. Straight PRI, SIP delivered PRI service, T1, about the only thing that'll stop outbound CID spoofing is straight POTS delivery to your building.

 

I do.

There's not a problem with my credit card account.


But they want to talk to me.


I dont have a cc.

"Well sir, because you have good credit you are eligible our new interest free credit card at no charge to you. Just give me your bank account information and we can set that up for you."

 

Fucking Hillarious !!!

I am totally going to have to try something like this the next a telemarketer calls me.

 

This is the first thing I thought of when I read the title...

I was also going to post the exact same lyrics....minus the video..

 

Haha this is just magic.

 

That Tom guy is great espy all the one when he wakes up the telemarketer at 4am. I hate when them sons of bitches can tell time zones and get a call about insurance or surveys at 4 or 5am

 

My cell phone rings just enough to be creepy (say 4x in the last year) No message.

 

That's hilarious, makes me want to answer a call so I can try it.

 

I've gotten some of those, now I turn the ringer of my phone off at night, I don't take calls when I'm sleeping.
