When a telemarketer calls, I either spit slang like a real G or hand the phone to my son and let him talk. They don't like talking to "black people" and my son just pushes the buttons. Either way they don't call back.

a former neighbor of mine used to ask them how they looked naked. it got the job done most of the time.

some of them slip through I guess, and I've changed my number like 100 times so I don't know if I'm on the list

I had a roommate who used to see how long he could keep them on the phone. He figured that the best way to deal with them was to hit them in the pocket book by wasting their time.

He would have all kinds of interuptions - "Can you wait a sec? There is someone at the door." ... then wait 5 min. "Oh, I have something on the stove". I think his record was about a half an hour.

I get recordings calling me every now and then from "the satellite company" or telling me that my vehicle's warranty is about to expire. Anytime I try and talk to a person who works for the company to so I can get them to take me off the list, I get hung up on.

i dont know if that will make discover themselves stop. but it will for sure if its a collection agency, plus it should TECHNICALLY make your debt harder for them to sell off since it's got strings attached....
