I know that it feels good to mess with them and waste their time, but can anyone tell me if it reduces the number of calls you get?
Probably not because they’re working off an automated dialer that is actually making the call. If someone answers then the call is forwarded to the telemarketer person. That’s why there is a delay sometimes after you answer.
Believe me, if only 1 million of us did this regularly, they would be screwed.
