TELEMARKETERS BEWARE: CONSUMERS ON THE WARPATH

TELEMARKETERS BEWARE: CONSUMERS ON THE WARPATH

LOUISVILLE, Ken. (Wireless Flash) -- Hate telemarketers? This should ring your bell: a campaign is underway to get rid of those annoying dinnertime phone calls. Comedian Tom Mabe of Louisville, Kentucky, is spearheading a campaign called "P.E.S.T." -- The People's Effort to Stop Telemarketing. In order to get rid of persistent telemarketers, he recommends annoying them by telling them you don't have a phone -- even though you're talking on one. Mabe also suggests engaging the telemarketer in phone sex. It usually works like a charm, but he admits one male telemarketer was so turned on, he kept calling back for more.
