Unfiltered Story #351285

(I’m waiting on a call about a job. I’ve been getting telemarketing calls all day about “lowering my interest rate.” Since they are coming from my hometown area code, I keep picking up the phone, as I still have family there. Finally, the 5th or 6th time the phone rings, I’ve had enough.)

Recording: Lower your interest rate now! Press 1 to speak with a representative!

(I press 1. A live person comes on the line.)

Scammer: Hello, this is [Name]. Are you interested in lowering your interest rate?

Me: You people have called me 5 times in the last 6 hours, and I’m done with it. I am on the national do not call list, so technically, what you’re doing is ILLEGAL. I am waiting on a call about a job, and having to talk to you idiots is wasting my time!! You are liars and scammers!! TAKE ME OFF YOUR LIST. Do you understand?!

Scammer: *click*

(10 minutes later, the phone rings. Same number.)

Me: *picks up* WHAT?!

Scammer: *click*

(That was 3 weeks ago. I haven’t gotten a single telemarketing call since.)
