How to Deal with Telemarketers
Guys! Guys! These are freakin’ hilarious! You would love it!
In a recent post, I described how a local blogger played a prank on a timeshare scam company. That was really funny!
Then I came across these telephone conversations by American comedian tom mabe, who makes a living out of playing pranks on telemarketers! He leaves a voice recorder by his phone so that whenever he receives a call from a telemarketer, he can immediately record the conversation.
Just listen to these!
A telemarketer calls him and is fooled into believing that he has called an actual crime scene!
Over here, the telemarketer is trying to sell him – get this – a prearranged burial plot! Creepy! People sell everything over the phone these days!
Hahaha what do you think? Apparently this guy is doing so well he’s even selling his funny telephone conversations on CDs! I think these clips have been floating around the web for quite some time, although I only came across them last week.

I think the guy might have been trying to delay Mabe, that’s why he asked if he could “maybe hold off until tomorrow”. In any case, he must have been traumatised if he believed that guyshot to be real!

Thats crazy!! Love it. When we moved into our new house I forgot to list the number as unlisted and for weeks we would mess with the callers. Nice way to kill a little boredom

I get calls all the time, they usually say give them 5 mins.
I would if you would give me 5 mins too, and listen to me talk to you about something, i would then listen to you for 5 mins. deal?
Guess it was no deal for any of them. Try it!
It’s not in their script, they will get a blank.
Try to convince to attend ping.sg meet up, join a volunteer organisation, or even preach the Good News :-)
