REVENGE ON THE TELEMARKETERS

Three Little Words That Work!!

(1) The three little words: "Hold On, Please..."
Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking off
instead of hanging-up immediately would make each telemarketing
call so much more time-consuming that boiler room sales would
grind to a halt.

Then when you eventually hear the "beep-beep-beep" tone, you
know it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has
efficiently completed its task.

These three little words will help eliminate telephone soliciting.

(2) Do you ever get those annoying phone calls with no one on
the other end? This is a telemarketing technique where a
machine makes phone calls and records the time of day when
a person answers the phone.

This technique is used to determine the best time of day
for a "real" sales person to call back and get someone at home.

What you can do after answering, if you notice there is
no one there, is to immediately start hitting your # button
on the phone, 6 or 7 times, as quickly as possible. This
confuses the machine that dialled the call and it kicks your
number out of their system. Gosh, what a shame not to have
your name in their system any longer!!!

(3) When you get those "pre-approved" letters in the mail
for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and
similar type junk, do not throw away the return envelope.

Most of these come with postage-prepaid return envelopes, right?
It costs them more than the regular postage "IF" and when
they receive them back.

It costs them nothing if you throw them away! In that case,
why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it
in these cool little, postage- prepaid return envelopes.

Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express.
Send a pizza coupon to the Bank.

If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them
their blank application back!

If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't
on anything you send them.

You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to just
keep them guessing! It still costs them.

The banks and credit card companies are currently getting a
lot of their own junk back in the mail, but folks, we need
to OVERWHELM them.

Let's let them know what it's like to get lots of junk mail,
and best of all they're paying for it... Twice!

Let's help keep the Postal Services busy since they are
saying that e-mail is cutting into their business profits,
and that's why they need to increase postage costs again.
You get the idea!

If enough people follow these tips, it will work ---- maybe
you'll get very little junk mail anymore.
