I let my parrot answer and now he has an Indian accent!

"Hello are you the house owner?" "No I'm a squatter, please don't call the police"

Every time I get a telemarketer, I tell them that they have just called the embalming room of a funeral home, the reactions can be priceless.

"Once I even picked up my whistle" - cracking up knowing her whistle is her last resort lmao

How to get rid of them: Mess around with them talking very softly almost whispering. This will make them adjust the volume on their headset. After that use a air horn directly into your phone mic and tear up their eardrums.

I lost it when "I JUST PICKED UP MY WHISTLE"

My trick was always answer on the first ring and never say anything. They hang up in frustration, then I block that #. After doing that for a couple of months they just gave up.

Thank you CBC for exposing telemarketers.

Book the air cleaning service - when the company shows up - dont answer the door - leave a note on the door "You have been booked by scammers in Pakistan" Go complain to them.

I keep getting calls about my auto insurance, but I don't have a car.

I don’t pick up unless I know the number calling me.

I like to spend around 15 minutes making them think they’re going to get a sale then tell them they have wasted their time and invite them to try again any time.

1.Get rid of that 50’s style rotating phone 2. Get a house phone with CALLER ID 3. Throw That phone in the trash as well. 4. Install a scam blocking app on your cell phone, no one uses house phones anymore

"Im so angry, I can spit" - Canadian guy

Does anyone actually say, "Why, yes, I DO need my air ducts cleaned! Come right over!"
