Default Off Topic: Telemarketers

Do you have any bad or funny experiences with TeleMarketers or are you a Telemarketer and you want to tell us more about your job??


Here's what happened..

First of all, I got this phone call at 7:30 in the morning!!

I previously donated money to the "Make A Wish Foundation" about 2 months ago. And now they're asking if I would like to make another donation. "Being the nice guy that I am.. " I told them sure, but since I was on a tight budget, I was only able to offer $20 dollars. This is where it got interesting.. They told me that for 15 dollars would the average donation per child per donor and that for 10 dollars more I could sponsor 2 children.. and I was like what?? Is this lady asking for more money?? I told her that $20 dollars was the best I could do at this time since I'm on a tight budget..And she offered to send me a bill for $30.00 that I could mail in later on when I get the rest of the money.. This is when I went.."WOW" I was actually thinking of sending money, possibly not eating at work for atleast 3 days to make this donation and now their asking for more money?? After this I told them that I'm sorry but I can't donate that much and if they can't take my $20.00 then I can't do it at all..(I know huh? I'm begging them to take my money,I'm such a dumbass ) That's when she said: "Well thank you for your time and hope you have a great weekend" and she hung up!! I'm like.. They rejected my $20.00 donation??? Overall I feel bad for not able to help out.. But most importantly, I feel bad for those kids that was being represented by people like her..

So what's your story??

I'd respond to your post but it was moved to off topic and it'll be MONTHS until you can respond to me since you have 39 posts.
