[DudeAsInCool]

Ten suggestions:

[Wolfie]

I tell them I have been unemployed for 2 years and ask them if they have any openings for telemarketers over there.

[MxRob]

I always ask them "What has two balls and is furry?" They reply I don't know. My answer is a Squirrel.

Then I ask what has big balls an hangs up?

Click :gigglin:

[Ken]

I let them speak, while I put the phone down, to go do something else.

About 10 minutes later, I come back, and hang the phone up.

[Kooperman]

I tell them all that Ken is my business manager....

I thought it went like: "What is furry and has two nuts?"

Lol,

You got it Wolfie, I blew it like I do with all jokes and stuff I know.

seriously this one works well when they call say these exact words as serious as possible with a quick but not to fast stern voice.

"Not now mutha fucker." (hang up) they wont call back

:Here's to you:

[Guest .::BeatFactory::.]

If I'm bored (can you believe they call my cell phone now about 10+ times a week asking about BeatKing?) I'll talk to them all until they are nearly about to make the sale and then I just say 'oh wait, i'm only 17... can i use my mom's CC anyway? and I beg them for the next few minutes insisting that my parents are both at work.'

Other times I just say ... "wait, hold on..." and pull a Ken.

About the BeatKing thing... I'm getting CC offers up to 30k for my small business aka BeatKing and phone calls asking about the owner of BeatKing and blahblahblah... I just say they have the wrong number and tell them I'm pissed because they woke me up.

... yes, Umma, yes!! that is the 1 thing, and only thing i can think of, that is good about dial-up ... hehe ... but when they do get through, me a loser, cuz they usually get their whole spiel in, even though i try to say i'm not interested, just can't seem to hang up on them, then they usually hang up on me ... ugh!!! ...

i used to receive calls until i found a script similar to this one a few years ago. It may be outdated but it is still effective
