  • These questions are generic. We used to get them calling about selling us a new roof, when we lived in a block of flats. Or we'd get them trying to sell us something when we lived in a church house (hub is a pastor) I used to joke with them, especially those who wanted to SELL our house for us...I'd say "Sounds great, but I think I'd have to talk to the church about it because they own it." It usually got a laugh.
  • I get those too, don't worry. You're phone comany 'prolly sold a list of names to the telemareters (my mom works for Verizon and I used to be a telemarketer). I always answer and tell them straight up, 'I don't have a mortgage, maybe you should do your homework before bothering me'. Try answering 'Fat Al's sex and fetish shop this is Bambi speaking can I help you?' and they'll quite calling. LOL (that is the name of a shop I'm trying to open) or you can register your number on the national DO NOT CALL registry and that make sit illegal for them to call you. Good luck, but the Fat Al's thing....really works!
  • I get calls like that all the time. Heres what i do: phone rings: Ill answer, but before saying "hello" ill yell away from the phone "get photos of the blood splatter on the north wall" "This is detective reynolds" Theyl say watever "mortage" and crap: ME: "hang on now, did you know Mr cramidy personaly? when was the last time you were in touch with him?" after they answer: "sir, youve called a crime scene investigation, Mr cramidy is... no longer with us" Have fun after that. I copied most of that from one of my freinds who says they hear it on some radio show, so i cant really take credit for it; but it works WONDERS and is flippin HILLARIOUS!
