Telemarketing Counter

The thing about telemarketers is, they're breaching through our vulnerable spot: telephone. In Indonesia, answering machines are not common. So on one hand we have people who want to sell things through unsolicited phone calls. On the other hand we have millions of people who would pick up the phones themselves. If there's a telemarketing dictionary, under "I" we would find this entry:

In do ne sian
n.
1. A native or inhabitant of Indonesia.
2. Also see: sitting duck.

Fear not, however, we can always retaliate. Take this counterscript developed by EGBG. Join the fun.

Worth quoting:

(On what to say for immediate counterattack)
Is it important to have good teeth for your job?

(On what to say when the telemarketer gets upset)
Do you have problem answering questions to a stranger on the telephone about which you don't know the purpose?
