The conversation goes as follows:

You know it's bad enough that we have to get telemarketer calls, & I try not to be rude because they are trying to make a living but when a company has to outsource their telemarketing to another country we should all answer just like the above! :-)

My Dad, in his 90’s, was very spunky and used to always tell them “ give your f*****ng number and let me call you back during YOUR dinner!

They do drive me crazy. Also, they would tell my dad they could help him lower his credit card debt, he never had any! He paid cash for everything!

my father is also 90,he only deals with cash also,when he used to go to grocery store,he would get so irritated with people paying with checks and credit cards.it must be a generational thing

One thing I love to do is keep them on the line as long as I can, acting like I am SO interested. I usually get them confused, as they have never had to get that far into their script. I just let them go and go, and then break their heart finally by telling them I am just not interested, but it was fun giving them practice!

Hmmm, and here I thought your spouse's name was really Thomas Jefferson...

FUN! BUT you broke rule #1! NEVER say the Y word. I've heard from one of my cyber security friends, as well as read elsewhere, they can take your name and your saying yes, rearrange it, as long as they have your voice, and bill you for that "all inclusive trip to someplace no one would ever, ever, want to go to with no cancellation possible", or ......

Don't you at least read the tips from AARP? I think they may have been one place I also saw?

They have your phone number, and your voice tagged to it, agreeing to all those wonderful things.

Paranoia!?!?!

Good to know. Even though I just hang up - these are mostly in Chinese (the language I failed to learn effectively).

I have fun with telemarketers, myself. I have one that calls every day . . . . EVERY SINGLE DAY!! telling me they are having a hard time reaching me and so this will be the last time they will try (until tomorrow) to give me a great deal on an extended warranty on my car because they know my car's warranty is running out (my car is a 1995 used car that is actually under a Salvage title!) Anyway, they started somehow changing the caller ID--and that's where I REALLY had fun with them. The first one answering them with, "Bill!" (my partner) I'm so happy you finally got that job with Microsoft! Why didn't you tell me?!?!? We can buy that house now!" Then the following day, the caller ID read Pappa John's. I responded as soon as they started rattling off their sales claptrap for my car's extended warranty, "Oh! I want a large . . . . what do you have that has all the toppings? Dion's calls their's a Special", so if you've got something like that, I'll take that. Side salads, two, please . . . ." Doing that makes the tellemarketers hang up first! LOL!
