Tips for Handling Telemarketers
Three Little Words That Work!!
(1)The three little words are: ‘Hold On, Please…’

Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking off (instead of hanging-up immediately) 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 it’s time to go back and hang up your handset, which has efficiently completed its task.

These three little words 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’ sales person to call back and get someone at home.
What you can do after answering, if you notice there is no one there, 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 it kicks your number out of their system. Gosh, what a shame not to have your name in their system any longer!!!

Well- I have had it with the recorded calls from “Carpet Care” too. It is now 12/27/2011 and they are still at it (I read the above from 2007 on) They hung up on me today too and wouldn’t provide a phone number so I could schedule cleaning later. (NOT that I would). I want off there list too! I want to report them too. This is the only thread I have found regarding this tele scamming. I will keep trying. Thanks all.

As an owner operator of a small carpet cleaning business, I would like to extend my apologies for these deplorable actions.

I base my business on quality, not quantity.

The actions of less than reputable companies affect every one in the cleaning industry negatively.

Again I offer my apologies for the effect that these actions have on the rest of us.

Sincerely,
Jay Jetty

They called again today! I pretended I was at work (I am) and didn’t have time at the moment, but would like to make an appointment at a later time. The number they gave me was 800-645-5953 and it’s a fake. The caller ID was No Name from 310-978-456, another 9 digit phone number. These people are going to hell.

In Los Angeles and am in the same situation as all the others – when i press 1 and ask them to remove my number I get hung up on. One time, I asked for THEIR phone number and received a false 800 number. I get a call every 2 weeks or so.

Today, the call came from a miraculous 9 digit phone number: 310-948-532.

These are some real special people. I think it’s Carpet Care, as buggers mentioned, but they can’t even afford a decent recording so I can’t even hear the name very well. If anyone finds the real phone number and address for the these jackholes, I will gladly mail them tuna sandwiches every day for the rest of my life.

Will try pretending to be interested next time to get more info. I think I’ll say that my parents need carpet cleaning and i’d like to forward on their information.

I received the same phone call. The message said it was “Diane” and when I pressed ONE, though the connection was not very clear, I did get the name of the company, CARPET CARE. When I advised them that they were calling my cell number and asked them to remove my number from their list, the representative promptly hung up the phone. I’ve also sent an email to fcc – thanks for the link Michael. By the way, I’m in LA, also with a 310 cell number.

I got this call today on my cell phone so I filed a complaint with the FCC.
my cell is unlisted, on the Do-Not-Call registry and I dont give that number out… thats what my house phone is for.
It prety much went just as the rest of the calls above.
I searched them on the internet and got their REAL name and number.

www QualityCarpetCleaning com [I took the direct link out. I'm not driving traffic to them! -- Lars]
1-800-675-7768

I hope someone calls them to sell them something they dont want!

Please file a complaint with the FTC / FCC https://esupport.fcc.gov/form1088/consumer.do and lets get rid of this guy for good. Even if he is put out of business and comes back with a different name or person owning… the FTC will get wise to him.
He will get the shaft in the end.

I also agree with Tony above… now that i have given you their number.

I just got another call … but not from Susie. This time it was the angry man who I spoke to earlier. And they’re still the “Local carpet cleaning service”.

One new thing was the “press 9 to remove your number from our call list” at the end of the call. I pressed 9 just in case, but like winning the lottery, I’m hopeful, but not counting on it.

I can’t believe how flagrantly this guy breaks the law. I wish I had time to sue him for the $500 a call I’m supposed to be able to get.

And really, who is stupid enough to think “gee, these nice people call me out of the blue and golly my carpets do need cleaning …. sure com on over random caller and clean my floors”.

I guess the stupid get what they deserve.
