By the way, if you’ve gotten calls from “Heather From Card Services” or been robocalled to tell you that “you car’s warranty is expiring,” I found the company behind it all: http://cnx.com/?p=884
Got to admit, I let them have it broadside with all guns when I get an “important call about my credit card status.” I haven’t had a credit card since 1998. Haven’t had a car payment (or warranty coverage) since 2003.
I got a call about my car warranty expiring. I told them that was impossible, but they insisted that their “records” were accurate. Then I said seven words that made them hang up on me: “I don’t even have a driver’s license”.
I knew a guy that would just claim he didn’t have/use what ever they were selling:
Furnace cleaning? - Sorry, don’t have a furnace.
Carpet cleaning - Sorry, all hardwood floors.
AT&T/MCI/Primus? - Sorry, I don’t have a phone…
i know that the way to avoiding junk mail is that when the envelope says ‘no postage necesary’ you can put virtually anything in and send it for no charge. usually on envelopes from charities.

I want a Garden Weasel(TM).

We had one, it was a good tool. Wouldn’t work in AZ, though.

I like the idea of certain people being decapitated with a Garden Weasel™ (don’t worry margueritem - you’re not one of them).

That’s the way to tell ‘em, Yer Maj!

LOL, that must’ve been for the Capital One credit card, I told them almost the same the her maj did.

Hi, Heather! My interest rate couldn’t be lower. Have a nice day!

I’ve got a Garden Weasel (TM), but I didn’t know you could use it for decapitations. Maybe we could get Dr. Mel to test it out on Winky and Cliff?

I have caller ID, Voicemail, a wife and 3 kids. I haven’t answered the home phone for 5 years. It’s going to be either a telemarketer or not for me.
ChiehHsia over 15 years ago
So you make your wife talk to all the telemarketers? Dang, dude, she’s gonna take all 3 kids and leave the phone with you if you’re not careful. LOL

Pab, my company gets robocalled by those twits for the car warranties. It’s caused me to ignore real phone calls out of frustration.
