This is an updated version of a comic I did for the late, lamented Comics Buyer’s Guide back at the dawn of time when print publications weren’t just a fond memory.
telemarketers use to call me. but, then i use tactics i learn from the internet. no call list, informing them that they called another telemarketing firm and with that call made me money, etc…
I did that sort of work for about a year and half and herdleader1953 is right, most of them are just average people trying to make a living. That being said most of them actually have fun with some of this stuff, even when they are the butt of the gag. An example from the time I did the work was the time one of us got a message machine with screams and sounds of gunshots in the background, with the voice saying they could not come to the phone because they had a telemarketer in the back yard. This number was passed to everyone in the office and we all got a laugh out of it.
I love telemarketers when they call. I have held the phone while they pitched till they are out of breath…….I just say……. QUE?Now the aggressive ones I truly love…..I look at it this way…..you called me……you get the hammer!!!Lets go to the mat as the fight is on……two will enter one will leave chants in the background.Then there are the ones calling about my computer needing a tune up. They claim to represent Microsoft and if I will just link them into this website they will fix my computer issues they are seeing……funny thing is when they call…..my computer is off.I engaged one in a knock down drag out tirade one lazy Saturday evening. He final called me a MFer…..to which I replied “You betcha….ya wanna talk to her….right now she has her mouth full.”I then hung up as the language got beyond colorful.Normal marketers I let them talk….politely saying not interested and even offering tips if they seem a bit off in the presentation.
I like the idea of countering telemarketing calls by pretending to be another telemarketer. The (your family name) family children’s shoe fund is a worthy sounding charity.

I wish I had a ransomware button on my phone so that when a telemarketers call I could send them a special present.

Comedian Tom Mabe had perhaps the very best most evil revenge on telemarketers EVER recorded, Google it it is HILARIOUS

They’re just trying to make a living folks. They need to pay rent and put food on the table just like us.
