Yes, ma'am.

Apparently when telemarketers call your home, you have miscarriages and burst appendixes. You are unable to call 911. You can't move two feet without the phone ringing. You can't sleep at night. You can't enjoy dinner with your family. You can't watch movies. You can't listen to music. You have to relocate your family and keep your lawyer and the police on speed dial.

And when they call your home, you have the right to scream incoherantly at them, use every curse word in your vocabulary, call them terrorists, rapists, and criminals, and threaten their entire family with yearly tax audits.

Seriously though, I think she has some kind of mental illness. Neutral

The picture of her was from a sheriffs office. Were charges of threat brought against her?

I don't think there is any doubt this woman has a mental illness! Wow, that was very disturbing. I can't believe how long she went on.

The telemarketer can just bring that tape with him to future interviews as a testimony to his "keeping cool under crisis!" He was great!

i haven't read it yet but it sounds silly lol


but i really do hate telemarketers. and i really love how they've started calling your cell phones now! they call my grandma at least 3 times a week telling her that she's won thousands upon thousands of dollars. she plays along, but then lately they've stared hanging up on her lol i guess they're taking revenge now. my grandma was being nice and talking to one of them the other day and she said "yeah whenever i tell them im not going to send them money they hang up on me" and the guy says "like this? click!"


Shocked friend

you can register your telephone numbers at .Donotcall.gov (the g is lowercase) and telemarketers will not call and if they do and you say your number is registered they will apologize. I have my home phone and cell phone registered. No calls for me!

Did you do it? You should get an email from them and you have to click on the link to register each number.

It is so worth it. I did my mom's number too.

Yeah, they call people all the time saying "you have won $100,000 which we will send to you if you send us $2000".
Another famous one

"I have $1,000,000 waiting for me in ___________, and I'll give you half of it if you give me the $5000 it's going to take me to get it here".

Unfortunately the elderly are sucked into the too good to be true scams.
If you have caller id (and it comes up) call the police and give them the number, or tell them you are going to and I bet they leave your grandma alone!
