Title: Prank calling telemarketers
Post by: UncleBob on February 25, 2015, 08:47:01 PM
About two hours ago, I got *yet another* telemarketing/scam phone call from "iPro Rewards"... offering me a $100 Walmart gift card in exchange for $3.84 shipping (charged to the credit card I provide them, of course).
I've asked to be taken off their list multiple times, but they keep calling.
So, I thought I'd have fun. I kept calling them. I yelled. I was nice. I kept saying "Noooo.". At some point, I got the great idea to call the number twice at the same time and three-way call agents together. Oh, boy, this was *amazing*. I wish I had recorded these conversations.
Anyway, at some point, I got connected to someone who said something like "Oh, it says here your name is Frank... no... Prank. Prank Call. Oh, I get it now." So , now I know they have my number (Actually, I already knew they had my phone number, because the agents would tell the other agents what number they were calling from)...
Then, I called back and spoke with the glorious Anna. Oh, Anna, if I weren't married and ten years younger, we could probably live together forever. I kept Anna on the line for over a half an hour talking about Snickerdoodle cookies, her job (she gets food - that her mom made for her to take to work with her - at her desk and has a metal fork), my job, all kinds of things. It was the best conversation I've had all day. Loads of fun. I told her to write my number down and call me if she ends up getting fired over the phone call. In. a way, I hope she does. The quality control people sound like assholes and she can probably do much better with her life. anyway.
And, for the record, at no point did I give any credit card information to Anna. I did try to convince her that the company should send the gift cards out free with the "Information packets", as it would get more people on board. She countered with the idea that, if someone paid for it, they'd be more inclined to read the information, as opposed to just taking the gift card and throwing the packet away. I suggested that they should make you go to a website to activate the gift card with a special password hidden somewhere inside the information packet. We both agreed that it was a good idea.

You should buy a bunch of $5 walmart gift cards and offer to sell them for $10 to telemarketers.

Once upon a time when I was young and dumb I worked for a telemarketing place that sold Credit Scores to people who had recently been rejected credit by a bank. Yeah try selling something people can get FOR FREE.
