...Joe have you tried the reverse 419 on them yet ?<br /><br />when you answer the phone, immediately cut in to their speel loudly with "What's Your Name ?"<br /><br />then when they tell you their name.<br /><br />Ask for Their Phone number to verify that it is them who is indeed calling. by this time they will be struggling to think.<br /><br />then when they start to dawdle and make any comments, immediately again cut in with -<br /><br />" Hey I'm Asking The Questions Here, Not You"<br /><br />this is guaranteed to throw them off balance for you to tip them over the edge.<br /><br />now you say, while they are not sure what to say..<br /><br />"When will you be sending Your Payment ? I said When Will You Be Sending The Payment, Make sure end the sentence with whatever their name is to let them know you are talking to THEM. <br /><br />then say it once again only a little louder with more authority in your voice<br /><br />"When Will You BE Sending THAT Payment I Said Joe (whatever their name is instead of joe)? "<br /><br />this will press that final button with them confusing them to no end.<br /><br />next you tell them that they have called the Western Collections Division for National bank of America; and that the Bank has been trying to reach them; and that since your phone system located them; and you have them on the phone, you want to know when they'll be sending that Overdue Payment ? <br /><br />and also ask for an immediate payment form such as a Credit Card Number; don't ask for a bank acct no. <br /><br />this will push them into the depths of confusion and probably make them hang up with total confusion; thinking this job is not worth this.<br /><br />trust me it works.<br />I learned it from a master.<br /><br /><br />I also enjoy getting those unknown caller calls.<br /><br />I answer the phone<br />"You Can't Fuck with the Un-Dead"<br />and then slam the phone down.<br /><br />it makes folks crazy because if they call back, the second time they are calling back to see if you'll do it again - so oblige them with the same version.<br /><br />if they call a third time, then you use an accent to say the same thing. it sounds particularly frightening in Patois for some reason.

I have caller ID and usually just let them ring through but lately the daughter has been answering the phone and that is almost as much fun as what you did. Of course I have told her to tell them that no one is home, she has been left with the stove on and the doors wide open. One telemarketer scolded her causing her to thrust the phone at me. I got the bonus enjoyment of telling the telemarketer off for scolding my daughter and because I had asked only days before that I was not interested in what she was selling and had asked to be removed from the list.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06808210602431338186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28272371.post-10676482697348537852009-05-07T12:34:00.000-04:002009-05-07T12:34:00.000-04:00Wow, what a bunch of great ideas.
