I am tired of getting phone calls and e-mails about this crap! I get them while I sleep at night, while I sleep during the day, it's so damn annoying!

its not the mortgage stuff that gets me, its "have you been injured in an accident at work, on the road or in the home that wasn't your fault? Not sure if you have a claim? Well phone Dial4aclaim now" that gets me. Theres a lot of advertising for mortgages via email, TV, phone etc, and there always will be, but here in the UK right now, I think that advertising for companies that help you claim compensation gets more airtime and into more people inboxes than anything else. OH YOUR GOD am I sick of it, first of all, its YOUR feckin' fault you slipped on the mess in the supermarket, because YOU'RE a bone idol lazy get, that wasn't watching where you were going! [lol]

Sorry went off on one there ....... so yeah, mortgages [:)]

I play with the telemarketers. If its a guy act gay and try asking him out and for his phone number and stuff, same with if its a girl. [lol]

Or sometimes if they are trying to sell vacume cleaners or something like that, I just say "i will be right back, this sounds like a very good deal, let me get my credit card". And then I put them on hold and just walk off and watch some tv or something! [lol] I had this one person wait on hold for almost 30 minutes!

Did you sign up on the "no call" list that the government started about a year or so ago? I haven't received hardly any telemarketing calls since signing up, and I used to get about 3-4 a week.

yes if you go to this website there will be a thirty day period that you have to wait and they can still call, because your number has to get into the goverments system. after that thirty day period if the telemarketer calls you, you can file a complaint then the telemarketer will get in trouble, LOL. also the thirtyday period starts the day you add your number ends thirtys days later. And for E-mail Spam you can Purchase Norton Anti-Spam[:p]
