The Ultimate Backfire to Telemarketers

How to prank a Telemarketer

This is hysterical, my god I'm still laughing and I saw this five minutes ago.

Oh, that's delightful. Too bad it sounds like a setup, rather than real.

While I haven't done anything of that level of fun, I have had some fun with telemarketers. If you pretend like you can't hear them, and keep repeating "HELLO!" and then break off into mumbling curses about the injustice of your lack of cheese cake and chicken wings, they tend to say some odd things before they hang up.

Oh gods, I had that job for one week -it broke me. I felt like a social collaborator.

When I have the mental strength, I say "hang on" and put the phone down. When I next notice the phone off the hook they are invariably gone. - Curdis !

I'm about 90% sure that it's fake as I'm fairly certain it's illegal to record someone's voice without their permission. Not to mention the prospects of playing it on the radio and impersonating the police.

Quite funny though.
