10 Ways to Terrorize a Telemarketer

[mustangII460]

Heres something that worked for me for most of my telemarketers.

Record the "S.I.T" tone. I keep a hand held recoder with it ready to play. S.I.T. is that three tone recording you get when you dial a disconnected number. Search google.

When the "Auto Dialer" calls me, I look for "unknown number" on my ID box. I play the SIT tone into the phone right away. This will trick the auto dialer into thinking the number has been disconnected, thus removing your number. It usually takes a few weeks of doing this to notice it working.

Also you can record the SIT tone onto your answering machine but, it HAS to be the first thing that plays. Any beeps, or words will trip the auto dialer to notify a person that its a person on the phone. So when someone calls your house, they hear that tone, then your away measage. No biggy for friends to figure out. The words after the tone are meaningless because the auto dialer has hung up by then.

I have cut out 98% of those people calling me with this method. Some telemarketers don't use this system, so it won't work with them. So those few lucky ones get all kinds of stories from me. I like using the, "My wife? Shes in jail right now, can I take a measage?"

Good Luck.
