| Act like your mentally ill or deranged. That'll probably freak them out. Say something like "NEVER CALL AGAIN OR I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!" and they'll be gone. Just try not to do this to machines, or else people will think you actually are crazy. | |||

| Say this: What?!? You want to call the cops? Your like in When a Stranger Calls! I'll have them trace the call!
And if they don't hang up: Scream like an idiot and then: You want head blown off? I give you! I trace down number and hunt you dead! You gonna be dead! They'll probably never call back then either. It's so fun torturing those poor people  |

I always wanted to try answering in Japanese and trying to convince them they'd somehow been connected to the wrong line and were paying huge long distance charges. See how fast they hang up. 
Also, if they ask to speak to the man/woman of the house, get a dog to bark into the phone or something. |

| They say you learn something new every day. I just learned how to say "Fuck off!" in Japanese now. I feel special. It's great that my sister is learning Japanese and that I watch a lot subbed Fullmetal Alchemist, so I know how to pronounce some words... Although I have no idea what they mean.
I always act like it's McDonald's or Pizza Hut when they call, I just scream like hell as if I had a mental problem, or I just simply press a few numbers and hang up. |

I call BS on that. I've never seen a telemarketer call my house at an extremely odd time, like 8 AM or something. Any time a telemarketer has called here is at a time where someone we know could easily call us. Yoro: Thanks for the new swear word.  |

I've had them call at 9 PM.
Originally posted by YoronosukuOriginally posted by HyperMackerel No, the trick is after one or two sentences, you pretend to go get someone who speaks English, and have them say "this is Mitsubishi Motors" or some such with a Japanese accent. Try to convince them they actually called a place in Japan, not just a person who speaks the language. |

| But the guy only dialed 7 numbers, how could he get Japan?
...is what the guy would be saying after he hung up the phone. |

Originally posted by Colin Well, if the guy was stupid, he might believe he really did. If not, then he'd hang up anyhow, as he would probably see that you are not worth his time.  |

| I'm sure they've heard a lot worse. It takes a really imaginative mind to actually get into the heads of those guys. |

Originally posted by Colin As far as I'm concerned, the goal is not to get into the heads of the guys. It's just to get them to hang up. Getting them never to call back would just be a bonus. However, if I really wanted to screw with their heads, it's possible with a little work and a bit of cash. Maybe make a variation of that if you really want to be creative.

| Heh. Relatives that we don't want to be anywhere near call multiple times throughout the day. Telemarketers are in the mix, but because I have the computer online for most of the day, most calls are blocked. | |||

| I remember on this one show that when this lady got this call from someone she didn't want to talk to, she would give the phone to her baby. It was quite interesting. The only thing there is that you need a baby. Or you act like a baby and say gibberish into the phone. Then the person won't bother trying to ask you anything. There are so many ways to get telemarketers to shut up. | |||

| The thing I do most is when I pick up the phone, say hello, and wait for them to introduce his/herself. If it's some sort of telemarketer, I just hang up and most likely they won't call back because it's obvious you don't want their services. If they do call back, do the same, except then slam the phone. After that just ignore the calls and let the answering machine get it. That way they'll just give up. | |||

| That is effective, but not fun. Maybe if you shout something random, or some rediculously long insult that makes no sense. That should spice things up. Or make it sound like you're attracted to them to really freak them out, then say you're breaking up with them because you're not receiving enough care. | |||

| One thing you can do is say "Hello..." then if they start talking about selling you something, cut them off with "...you've reached so-and-so, leave a message at the beep". Or if you have caller ID and you know it's them, play the recorded sound of a dialup modem when you pick up and make them think they mis-dialed. An automated system might even delete your number.
Also, some automated ones wait for you to say hello, so if you say something else like "yo" they'll just hang up. Originally posted by Colin Crossed wire? I think if I was convinced I'd accidentally called a country on the other side of the planet, I'd be hanging up long before I tried to figure out how. Long distance rates are insane. |
