How does that work.......how do they get the jobs of sales reps for repitable business's as far as phone calls for sales goin on or for promotions or billing issues ? I am FED UP with them.....would like to set there turbans on fire.......arghhhhh !!! They call here and can't even speak english well enuff for us to understand what the hell they want or are saying....why would a big business hire people that can't even get there message across ? One called the other nite about my direct tv account (I had paid it tho)....Brad could not understand a word that lady tried to say and got pissed off. Of course tho ya don't want to be RUDE to a business ya deal with, but he couldn't even understand who she was working for let alone the message she had to say. Then today a teliban dude called about puppies....at first I didn't know what he rattled off but heard sumthing about PETS. Then I heard lots of other voices in the background on other phones....he wanted to know if I had pups advertised and I wanted to know WHY....well heck I don't want to blow off potential customers either and could not understand WHY he was calling. He got quiet and then asked....do you have puppies for sale and do you want to sell them.....duh.....so I asked him if he was selling sumthing and he got quiet again.....then he said he was NOT selling anything and wonder'd why I was so rude. Then he asked the price and said it was WAY TOO LOW and I could get lots more then that if I used this other form of advertiseing.....I told him NO and hung up !!!!!! Are these people sittin in little boreing rooms with baby crap yellow walls and occational gun shot holes with sun flitering thru sitting at beat up desks cover'd in a sandy dust with old rotar dial phones calling me from the desert ???? They seem to do all the calling for Penny's and Pet Supply Plus and sum other big stores. I've had billing issues with that quick check service and had to call and got teliban types.....barely can understand them and hard to reason with. What's up with all that....course I've also had south of the border callers too reps for US companies. Are we stupid Americans for hireing them or are they smart foreigners for gettin the jobs Pam
That guy today wanted to argue with me that I LISTEN to him and not get so pissed off....yet he WAS selling sumthing one way or the other like I thought ! He treated me like I was a dumbass for not listening !!! Got a lady sellin cancer ins the other day that told me our family WAS goin to get it....and we had better buy the ins cuz she was only tryin to help us !!!! She aruged with me when I said NO.......we just don't need one more policy to pay for !!! She would not take no for an answer.....I am getting fed up with this crap !!

Pam...um....I don't believe it is the Taliban calling you hon. More likely outsourcing from India. The company does it because 3rd. world countries work for a lot less money.

Pam do you have your number on the "Do Not Solicit" List? If you do and they still call you can ask for a supervisor and their company name and get them in a lot of trouble for calling you.

5 words...
National DO NOT call list
I've been on it since it first came out and now the only unwanted call I get are the pre-recorded campaigners and poll takers and an occasional Non-Profit Organization.
(actually I kinda miss torturing the solicitors  )
with warm regards,
Tony

Haven't gotten any phone solicitations for many a long year. When we had a landline, it was unlisted. We just have cell phones now, and the Taliban haven't caught up with those yet.
Great rant, though, Pam. 
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

I think we have to renew our Do Not Call listing by April or so. I'm on it but now and then I get something. I never let them get going.
Recently, one of these PITA relay systems set up shop here. They hired a lot of people so they are forgiven by most of the town.
Good luck kids.

Yeah we WERE on the 'don't call me list'.....I am getting TONS of them people calling. Sum call acting like there interested in pups if I have an add running and they ask how I am and lots of puppy questions....I can usually SMELL A RAT tho...but not long ago I got rude to sumone and it WAS a ligit customer so I am tryin to be cautious. We get calls daily......lots of charity pressure calls too and these people have actually been argueing with us to donate....that seems to be the new tactic. The people are so hard to understand we sumtimes NEVER figure out what they wanted and hang upand they sound teliban'ish to me ! I don't talk to them anyhow but have been caught in the wrong frame of mind and argue'd back....esp that ins sales lady that said we HAD to buy her ins and people that refer'd her to call us (Brad's busniness partner/boss) who bought it and told her they were so very worried about us and that they wanted her to call us and help us be safe. Yeah rite.....I don't think so !!!! What a pitch she had goin on and she probly called the other guys and got them to sign up cuz they THOUGHT the boss man wanted them to and was so very very concern'd. They all sound foreign to me Pam

Pam, there's a little button on the phone -- it hangs it UP. Now wasn't that easy..
Seriously, if it sounds fishy - just hang up. I let them get to the part, "How are you today?" before I press the little button. Works every time. Since I got on the "Do Not Call List" I'm getting fewer and fewer calls. Mostly local and I just tell them I give at the first of the year and it's already earmarked for my "favorite" things. Maybe next year.
I just don't let the telephone upset me. It's just too easy to hang up if you don't like what you're listening to.
Hugs

When I called Dell to order my last computer I had to keep asking the lady to keep repeating her last question because I could not understand her due to her thick Indian accent.
This video reminds me of that phone call:
