Telemarketers keep asking if they could speak with Osama.

[Srfrbum]

Some of you may know about the Free USB Flash Drives in the free stuff part of the forums. Well I was bored so I put in my name as Osama Bin Laden, yeah I know, stupid. But a day later, I get 3 calls from telemarketers calling me asking if Osama is there and if he wants to apply for a pre-approved mortgage. I keep telling them that this isn't fucking funny, and to stop calling me and asking for Osama. One of the telemarketers even started laughing after I told them that no one in this house with the name Osama lives here. What the hell do I do to make these bastards stop calling me.

Edit: Forgot to add that I put my phone number in the field where it asked for it in the survey thing. Foolishly I should have nto done that.

Learn not to use your real pone number when you sign up for free stuff...

Oh, they'll stop calling you after the government raids your house and ships you off to Gitmo.

stop answering the telephone, unless the caller ID says it is safe

I stopped paying for caller ID a while ago though.

Just talk to them...lead them down a primrose path...act all interested, (Do NOT say anything that could be construed as illegal or terroristic!) ask about their product, whether is's magazines or mortgages.
Then, after you've had fun with them, ask for their names and company names. Tell them you are on the Federal Do Not Call list and you need the information to report them.
The next sound you generally hear is <click>
MOST of the time they don't call back.

Pretend that you're the FBI that caught you having connections with Osama. Since they're calling for him they are obviously connected with him also. stay on the line as you get their information and the FBI are on their way.

 

[slayer202]

funny, but that was stupid

 

[mugs]

You're an idiot.

I don't know, but it's always fun to pretend you are a detective that at a murder scene that this guy just called.

So you put your name down as Osama Bin Laden but used your real phone number...are you retarded?
