REVENGE
ON THE TELEMARKETER

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 BT's 'beep-beep-beep'
tone, you know it's time to go back and hang up your handset
.... you have efficiently completed your task..

These three little words could 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 record s the time of day when a person answers
the phone.

This technique is then used to determine the best time of day
for a 'real' salesperson 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 are returned. 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 advert for your local chimney sweeper to American
Express ... they might need one!
Send a pizza coupon to HSBC ... in case their canteen packs up. You get the
idea.
If you didn't get anything else that day, then
just send them back their blank application form ........
after all, it is their form!

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

You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to
just to keep them guessing! It still costs them, and it
is their envelope after all .. you are just returning
it!!!!

The banks and credit card companies are currently getting a
lot of their own junk back in the post, but folks ...... we need
to OVERWHELM them, in order to stop 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 Royal Mail busy. Since the
Royal Mail are saying that e-mail is cutting into their
business profits, let's help them so they will not 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..
