Tired of those Computer Dialed Phone Calls; JUNK Mail
THIS SEEMS TO WORK:
You can do your Friends and
Family Members a G-R-E-A-T favor by sending this information to them. You will
be providing a service to your friends. And you will be rewarded by not getting
those thousands of spam emails in the future!
Instead,
you will be getting tons of junk mail later and very possibly a virus attached!
Plus, we are helping the Spammers GET RICH! Let’s not make it easy for
them!
ALSO: Email petitions
are NOT acceptable to Government or any other organization. To be acceptable,
petitions must have a SIGNED signature, so this is a waste of time and you are
just helping the EMAIL TRACKERS.
TIPS FOR HANDLING
TELEMARKETERS:
Three little words that work
---
1)
Hold On
Please
Saying this,
while putting down your phone and walking off (instead of hanging up) would make
each telemarketing call so much more time-consuming that boiler room sales would
grind to a halt.
Then when you eventually
hear the phone company’s “beep-beep-beep” tone you know know the task is
completed, and it’s time to hang up your handset.
Those
3 little words “Hold On Please” will help ELIMINATE telephone
soliciting.
2)
Do you ever get those annoying phone
calls with no one on the other end?
This is a
telemarketing technique where a machine makes phone calls and records the time
of day when a person answers the phone.
This
technique is used to determine the best time of day for a “real” salesperson to
call back and get someone at home.
One thing you
can do is to immediately start hitting your # button on the phone, 6 or 7
times, as quickly as possible. This confuses the machine that dialed the
call, and kicks your number out of their system --- what a
shame not to have your name in their system any
longer.
3)
Junk Mail Help:
a)
When you get “ads” enclosed with your phone or utility
bills, return these “ads” with your payment. Let the sending companies throw
their own junk mail away.
b)
When you
get those “pre-approved” letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to
2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not throw away the return
envelope.
Most of
these come with postage-paid return envelopes. It costs them more
than the regular postage, ‘IF’ and when they receive them
back.

One of Andy Rooney’s (60 minute)
ideas:
Send an ad for your local chimney
cleaner to American Express. Send a pizza coupon to Citibank. If you didn’t get
anything else that day, then just send them their blank application
back!
If you want
to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn’t on anything you send them
--- or you can send the envelope back empty if you want to keep them guessing.
THEY STILL HAVE TO PAY THE POSTAGE!!!
We need to start overwhelming the
banks and credit card companies by sending them their own junk back. Let’s let
them know what it’s like to get lots of junk mail, and best of all, they’re
paying for it …TWICE!
Let’s help keep our postal service
busy since they’re saying that email is cutting into their business profits. You
get the idea!
If enough
people follow these tips, it will work.
