REVENGE ON THE TELEMARKETER



Three Little Words That Work!!

(1) The three little words: 'Hold On, Please...'
Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking off instead of hanging-up immediately) would make each telemarketing call so much more time-consuming that boiler room sales would grind to a halt.



Then when you eventually hear the Telstra's 'beep-beep-beep' tone, you know it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has efficiently completed its task.

These three little words will help eliminate telephone
soliciting.

(2) Do you ever get those annoying phone calls with no one on
the other end? This is a telemarketing technique where a machine makes phone calls and records the time of day when a person answers the phone.


This technique is used to determine the best time of day for a 'real' sales person to call back and get someone at home.

What you can do after answering, if you notice there is no one there, is to immediately start hitting your # button on the phone, 6 or 7 times, as quickly as possible. This confuses the machine that dialled the call and it kicks your number out of their system. Gosh, what a shame not to have your name in their system any longer!!!

3: When you get those 'pre-approved' letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not throw away the return envelope.

Most of these come with postage-prepaid return envelopes, right?
It costs them more than the regular 50 cents postage 'IF' and when they receive them back.

It costs them nothing if you throw them away! In that case, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little, postage- prepaid return envelopes.

Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Send a pizza coupon to Westpac. :twisted:

If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them their blank application back!

If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on anything you send them.

You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing! It still costs them $1.00

The banks and credit card companies are currently getting a lot of their own junk back in the mail, but folks, we need to OVERWHELM them.


Let's let them know what it's like to get lots of junk mail, and best of all they're paying for it.. Twice!

Let's help keep Australia Post busy since they are saying that e-mail is cutting into their business profits, and that's why they need to increase postage costs again. You get the idea!

If enough people follow these tips, it will work ---- maybe you'll get very little junk mail anymore.

I have a lot of questions about pictures...

1 Where do I get animations for my profile pictures?

2How do I get pictures for blog and forum posts?

and 3, can I get pictures for my reveiws?

Thankyou very much for reading this, please post a comment!

Biggest Loser. My bro is crazy about it, I think him and the show is crazy. I like to think, WHO CARES ABOUT A BUNCH OF FAT PEOPLE?? Make them lose weight the conventional way, with dieting. If that doesn't work, get them liposuction! Lap bands! COME ON! Stop making a fuss about all of these poor old people that can't lose so much as a God danm gram! Why do YOU think people manufacture Fast food(great taste, crap for you) other than to get you fat, eh? And just for the final word, whenever Bowser watches that show, I say"Why are you watching a bunch of blobs?". He says "Some people like this show!" Personally I think they shoulden't have gotten fat in the first place.:roll:

Just to clear the name, my parent are Nintendo MAD! Mum said I had to put in a false name whenever I joined online soicieties(Neopets, VCraftster, Gamespot etc...). Just to explain my profile name being Duh Derr. They were hoping for a boy so they could name me Mario of Luigi!!! Just as well, my little bro's name is Bowser. Can you belive that???

Have YOU noticed that many people say that video games are bad for you? When I am bored on a rainy or too hot day I can burn up to 10 hours a day on (borrowed from my friends) Worms Open Warfare 2. I am a perfectly normal, fit teenager. I know people that spent that much every single weekend and eat celery (one of my fav foods!) with at least enough salt to use in a jumbo chip packet, and THEY are the ones worthy of the (degratory) title 'blob'. Not stopping for lunch, unless it is high in salt, fat, and potatoes. We all enjoy these high fat, high kilojoule snacks (Well I have to, to stop me going insane), but every day is too much. Some even take days off scool to play these things! I am ( Don't tease me for this) a happy and proud subscriber to the science magazine CSIRO Double Helix. In it was PROOF that kids who play Video games notice things faster than non-gamers. For example, if 2 kids were looking at a boat, and another boat came onto the scene, the video gamer would notice first. Doesn't mean you can spent your study time playing Tomb Raider though. No apologies for my bad spelig.

My Mum always says:

Cleanliness is next to Godlieness

No Its not; it's next to clay.(At least in our dictionary!)
