What are some funny ways to screw around with a telemarketer???

Question

I want to something funny to try next time one calls. My favorite one that I've done before is letting the telemarketer think I was interested in their product. Then after about 30 minutes, I say, "No thanks. Not interested," and hang up.

Answer 1

One time these guys from a morman church kept calling and my friend says: This is a house of homosexuals, we worship c ock! I almost fell on the floor! That was terrible though! (But funny)

Answer 2

when they call, there is always that brief delay, then you hear them in a room of other telemarketers, which is a dead give away. Then they ask for Katherine, which no one calls me... so I know it's a telemarketer for sure. I tell them that Katherine died recently. They'll usually say they're sorry to hear that, and I'll say something like "don't be, she was a complete b-tch!" or "Don't be, she wanted to die, which is why she killed herself. It's what she wanted." Some markers will actually have THE NERVE to ask, "so are you the one handling the households phone services now?" They still go into their pitch! Can you believe it?!

Answer 3

Do the Jerry Seinfeld method. You know the one when he asked the telemarketer for their number so that he could call them when they were home and then when the telemarketer says no then ask why and if they say that they don't want to be bothered by anyone calling then just tell them well now you know how I feel and then hang up the phone.

Answer 4

Something that me, my best friend, her aunt, and her aunts bf did was just say the world's coming to an end and screamed into the phone. . . haven't had a telemarketer call since that incident haha

Answer 5

This is hilarious! Have you heard of Tom Mape? He's a real pro at pranking telemarketers and absolutely ruthless.
Also, search youtube for 'telemarketer pranks'!

Answer 6

You can diguise your voice like Bill Clinton and say "This is Bubba, do you want to have sexual relations?" That is if the telemarketer is a woman. If it is a guy, talk like an italian mobster, and tell him that you have his girlfriend in your trunk.

Answer 7

I keep looking for my credit card...come back and then have to look for the right one, talk about ficticious relatives and pets...I love it when they are the ones that hang up...I also change my name to something they can't pronounce or is funny, like Ben Dover, Janet Upisend, Willy Makit....

Answer 8

When they ask you how you are, almost immediately sound like you are breaking down crying, then make up a fake sob story about how you caught your significant other in bed with a family member, and that when you kicked your significant other out, they cleaned out your bank account and when you came home from work, they had taken all of the furniture, and the toilet paper (make a really big deal about the toilet paper, something like "I can understand why they took my bed, and shredded all of my clothes, but why the toilet paper? Anything but the toilet paper! *sob*).

Answer 9

Act real interested and say yes, you would like to buy 30 items of whatever they're selling and then put them on hold ----say you have to get your checkbook or something and then keep them on hold and never go back to the phone.

I'll bet they'll stay on hold for hours desparate to make that commission!!

Answer 10

Tell them "The voices don't like you very much"
"Hang on, the blue monkeys are breaking my dishes again"
Pop a balloon and start screaming.
Start talking in another language, even if it's just one that you made up.
Cry into the phone and tell them your sob story. When they start to hang up, scream "Please don't leave me like everbody else"
Say "I thought I told you not to call when my husband/wife was home!"
