How to put a Telemarketer off his game.

had some very interesting things to say
about How to put a Telemarketer off his game.:

I thought the do-not-call list had been cancelled. I remember, it was
2 years ago, wasn't it, when they were telling people to get on it. The
next thing I heard, there was an injunction against the implementation
of that list. I thought it wasn't operative.

The telespam industry lost that one in court. :-)

Knew news.admin.net-abuse.email would come through for me on this one.

Could someone in the USA tell me how to access it?

According to Vivisimo [wonderful search engine, BTW. NAYY], the
Federal list can be reached at https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx

Tanada had some very interesting things to say
about How to put a Telemarketer off his game.:

Not a telemarketer, but I got rid of a pan handler the other day. I was
sitting in the van, reading, listening to the radio, and waiting for Jim
to get off of work; when a pan handler came up to the van and went into
his spiel. He (and his mother) were up here for the hospital and were
trying to get back to South Carolina, but they didn't have the gas
money, and could I help? He was really good, I almost reached for my
purse. Then I thought, wait a minute, I don't have enough money to buy
the stuff we need, so what am I doing here?

I ran into one at the bus stop a while back who really annoyed me. I
was on my way to work and he asked for some change, ostensibly for the
bus fare. I had a single-fare bus ticket in my wallet [I use a monthly
pass for my commuting needs] and offered that and he turned it down.
Pretty obvious to me that bus fare wasn't what he really wanted, and I
*hate* being lied to like that.

DH has been strongly tempted to make up flyers with directions to
LaborReady [the day labor place he puts in a few days a week with to
make up the shortfall between my income and our needs] to give to
those youngish able-bodied guys out panhandling. My take on those guys
is, "Hey, my husband (middle-aged, arthritic, and diabetic) and I
*work* for our money, why can't an able-bodied guy younger than either
of us go actually *earn* the money he's hitting up strangers for?"

I'm a bit less irritated by the obviously disabled panhandlers, but
still don't give cash [I do NOT want to finance someone's booze or
drug habit].

I do. I can't help it. I just feel so convicted everytime I see some bum. I
figure whether or not, or how much I give him, is between me & God. What he
chooses to do with it is between him & God.
I honestly believe I get the blessing out of it even if he spends it on booze.
That's why I am always broke and will die a bag lady myself. :-)

OTOH, aside from my qualms about enabling addiction [and my resentment
of having the money I work to *earn* thrown away on self-destruction],
I don't see where it does someone any good to help them kill
themselves.

I see your point, but you cannot be sure that's what their intentions are with
your money.
