Phones pick up high pitched noises really well so it's even louder than you would expect
Chandler920
First, keep them on the line for a few seconds, talking quietly so they have to turn up their volume and listen closely.

Plot twist: It was the hospital calling her back with her COVID-19 test results.

DID THEY HANG UP? WHAT? DID THEY HANG UP? NO THEY HUNG UP!

What, you don’t want an extension on your vehicle warranty?
floopdawoop
I pretend to be an old lady and keep going on and on... They try to get me to buy and I keep yammering. You can hear their souls evaporate.
ServaDoctrina
The perfect clip to blast on max vol to annoy your upstairs neighbours
finetoroastasimamarshmallow
say, sure no problem, give me a second I’ll be right back. And just leave the phone on until they hang up.

This isnt standard procedure?
FlamingDeathGoat
Best to just not answer, after enough times the automated dial programs start to skip over your number. I've been receiving WAY fewer lately
JRedlance
This has worked for me, too. If I don't recognize the number on the caller ID, I don't answer, and now I get 3-4 calls per month max.

Gonna tell my kids this was Audioslave.
newname1000
I like to ask them if they think their parents are proud of the work they do.
bisbob
They usually hang up on me after ask them what color panties they’re wearing.

Hey! Another tiktok going viral!
Like lots of stuff from China these days.

UpvoteTotem
You know he was wearing a headset too
BrofessorDumbleBro
I’m a big fan of the “I just want to make you aware that I’ll by touching myself during this phone call.” Line.
krau27
ooohhh totally using that line
HodgeNPodge
I mean...if you don't know the number, you could just not answer the phone. No voicemail? No problem.
smax410
I got scammed yesterday. They were good too. Almost got me and I ended up having to change usernames and passwords. Cant believe I’m so dumb

Well now you know :)

I am on it, it was my first thought actually
Remind me to send it to you in a couple days!

1) ask them to hold. place phone near classical radio. 2) Ask what they're wearing. then tell them how that turns you on

Why is she so hideous?
She's over emoting as she over enunciates her words and looks like a retard.
Why are you a cunt?
DeveloperDan783
Funny how Dell and Apple always call me with an Indonesian accent in a very loud and crowded room
HarryBlackstoneCopperfieldDresdenIsMyPatronus
I have no Apple products, thus nothing to fear from those. I have been cursed at and threatened by their guys. It's marvelous.
Oh wow, like they threaten you?? I always tell them I've called the police on them or something
I called his bluff when he asked me for info that Apple would never request over the phone. I told him I knew he was scamming. He replied...
that he already *had* my info, and would be using it to steal from me, yadda yadda, called me a motherfucker, and then he hung up.
XD

Don’t wear headphones to listen to this
knuckledeepinachicken
Or do, with low volume.
Frenchgeek
As a rule, I don't enable sound on imgur.
That is a good rule but my curiosity gets the better of me
ImperatorNikolai
When aluminum siding companies would call my gramps he would invite them over for the free estimate even though he had an all brick house
leodavinci1
Brick homes can be sided.
MonsoonPoultryHospital
My grandpa was the same with duct cleaning companies even though he had hot water heating. Kept them on the line for a half hour.

My dad did the same thing when he lived in an apartment haha

NICE.
Somanyquestions
If they didn't ask if he needed some or was interested, I'm all for it. Otherwise, depends on the attitude.
He would get steamed when they would call during dinner and decided if they were gonna waste his time he would waste theirs
Sounds like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

First talk real soft so they turn up their volume

Purposely recording at the normal audio level, but talking silently so people turn it up to hear? Then maybe screaming at some point?
Pretty much. Keep lowering the audio level through the episode so people keep turning up their sets, then some loud noise at the end.
1trollsVillain
What can go wrong?
bugeyetex
Effective, I like it
dylanamanhouilhan
Too effective and possible grounds for a lawsuit if it actually hurts their ears
Ellimem
Nope. Completely the opposite. If you even pick up you get tagged as an active line, getting more calls. If you talk, even more,
theworldisanillusion
They’re recordings so I don’t get it
GreatScatt
I would love to hear this remixed to a song.
TooFunkToDrunction
Not really, I mostly just get bots on the line and I don’t think this bothers them
LumpWithaLeafHat
"Yes, of course." That comment has Lady Olenna energy.
copingcabana
It's more effective if, at first, you speak very quietly so they turn up there volume.
iGotFOLDERS
DAMMIT, "their" volume.
KLUSTENATOR
Oh, I thought you meant "if they turn up that there volume, feller".
AdmJota
Unfortunately, this technique only harms the employee, not the company that's making them to this.
magicrhombus
It doesn't say telemarketers, it says scammers. They're not employees, they're accomplices, and fuck them.
Grimdude
I was just thinking this. Like, yeah you really showed that minimum wage employee who's boss!
You see, when you harm employees you do indirectly harm the company because the stress causes a high turnover rate, which is expensive.
Idontlikeolives
Its also expensive (mentally and financially) to cause a minimum wage worker to quit their job due to constant abuse.
batmanbumantics
Good. If your willing to work for a scammer company you're part of the problem
I don't know, if you're desperate enough for a paycheck so you can eat, survival can overrule principles.
DownvotesRmyBadgeUvadge
If this is the only job they can get, they shouldn't have done whatever crimes they committed to rate such a shit job. Fuck 'em!
CptnTrash
My first job was doing this. My crime was being young and not having experience on my resume.
My first job was scraping dried pie dough off the bakery floor, mopping, and washing all the used mixing bowls and beater attachments...
...and that was at 5 am mon-fri before school when I was 13. $75 a week in 1967. Beat the shit out of telemarketing. Besides voice was 2 hi.
