For the past year or so "Rachel" (a recording) has been calling periodically from "Credit Card Services" about my ability to lock in lower rates on my credit cards - an offer that is about to expire. Push 9 for more information. If I have the time, I'll press 9 and screw with them. First of all, they are dialing everyone without any knowledge if you have credit cards. They are very misleading. So, I'll lead them on and tie them up for several minutes. They are only interesting if the outstanding balance on a card is over $8,000. They'll ask for my balances and I'll say something like "I'm in the shed and I ain't got none of the cards with me. I ain't got no idea how much I owe but its a bunch" Eventually they'll hang up on me but not until I wasted their time. These people are scum. And what they are doing is illegal also.
I know of someone who tells telemarketers they have a cat. Non-sequiturs might be fun to try sometime also. That might be the next thing for me to try.
