YEAH, I END UP HANGING UP ON THEM.when i moved into my new house 2 years ago got a call from some person asking for fund raising for the w.seneca police. he said you can donate 50, 100 or more. i said send me some info and i'll take a look at it.this a-hole then said it has to be 50 the least. i said f/u and hung up.

I've had quite a few calls hardly ever listen to them long enough to ever get a figure.Lately been getting offers for free room in fl/disney + some other garbage.Never been offered the cruise.
Most of the calls I get are time sharing vacations.They want to sell me a weekend at some place.I decline since I dont believe in time sharing.Never received anything about cruises though.I tend to be suspicious person so I would not go on any of these trips.
You betcha. Get FREE ORLANDO VACATIONS all the friggin' time too. 4 days, 3 nights, Disney tickets, the works. All you gotta do is make sure you are with your spouse (if married like me), sit through a 4 hour sales pitch (if you ditch that part you get to pay through the nose for this FREE VACATION) and then get the high pressure treatment from some guy wearing a white belt.
A buddy of mine, who is extraordinarily cheap, actually talked his wife into this deal for their summer vacation one year. I don't think he got laid for about 6 months after that one.
I don't have any problem with telemarketers any more. I stop them immediately, ask for their home phone number, and if they won't give it to me (which, of course, they would never ever do), I tell 'em to put me on their 'DO NOT CALL' list and hang up. The key is to never let them take control of the conversation. You can do this by asking their name again. Everyone likes to tell you their name, and 99% of them will stop to repeat their name. Then you take control - 'LARRY, WHAT'S YOUR HOME PHONE NUMBER?'. They hate that sh*t, but who cares, it's mutual.

this is your one and only call. No you can't call back. I'll hold while you call up the website. We don't offer this package to everyone. We didn't call you from a phone book. You are pre-approved for visa and mastercard all I need is the expiration date on the card and I'll hold while you get that sweety
don't EVER sit thru one of those timeshare sales pitches! EVER! you'll be sorry if you do. worst 3 hours i ever spent in my life. i don't care WHAT they give you for doing it. it ain't worth it, period. AND, they'll put you thru hell trying to collect your 'prize' after the presentation is over. if you don't buy, the salesman, who was your best friend and nicest guy in the world, will hate your guts. the feeling will be mutual tho. whew! getting pissed off 'thinking' about that day.
yup... been there did that. I got the postcard in the mail that says call this number you won a trip blah blah blah... i spent 2 hours on the phone with the lady... due to my own choice of course.
I think I broke her down.
Made her go thru the whole sales pitch, i kept asking all kinds of questions acting like i wanted it... then when she asked for my CC# i told her to shove it. She got all pissy with me for wasting her time... (hey, i made it thru a 6 pack during the conversation, no waste of time on my end).
After a few heated words she actually hung up on me. Needless to say I called back and asked for her by name again. I told her to get her supervisor on the phone for being so rude. (they had one of those messages: this call is being recorded for future training and evaluation periods). I gave it to her pretty good about the call being recorded and how i was gonna have her job for being so unbelievably rude to me.
Needless to say, i no longer get any offers from that agency.
Its easy to deal with these schmucks. Just be aggressive with them. They cant stand it.

One day I was at home getting ready to go to the office when the phone rang.
I answered it and a guy said "Am I speaking to the man of the house?"
I said yes and he proceeded to pitch me on the Missori Sherriff's association.
There had just been a piece in the paper saying that our sherriff had never heard of them and a piece on the tube saying that the solicitors keep 80% of the money they get (the maximum allowable by law), so I said not interested and hung up.
Two hours later I was at the office and the phone rang and I answered it and it was the same damned guy with the same damned question!
This time I told him there was a piece in the paper saying that our sherriff had never heard of them.
He said "we weren't going to send him anything anyway (click)".
