TELEMARKET TAG
I probably wouldn't even bother
answering the telephone when the
word "Anonymous" shows up on my
Caller ID were it not for the fact one of
my in laws calls come in that way. In
my opinion the identification of everyone
calling your home should be available.
It's really no different than someone
knocking at your front door. You want to
know who's there! And you probably
should before you open that door or, in
this case, answer your phone.
The calls usually come from
telemarketers even though we're on the
Do not call list. Still, the same people,
or machines, keep dialing our number!
Yesterday I threw caution to the
wind and answered even though
"Anonymous" showed up on the ID.
A gentleman, and I truly use the
terms loosely, began to ramble on in
his foreign dialect about how my
computer had a serious problem.
Having gone through this once before
several years ago I tried to interrupt his
speech, asking that my number be put on
his "Do not call list." He continued as
though he had never heard me and I,
raising my voice, again called for the
removal of my name from his list.
That's when he chastised me for
interrupting him and attempted, again,
to go on with his script.
When I told him not to call again
he promised to continue to call me! Great
public relations representative....not!
When he fulfilled his promise and
called again just three minutes later I
decided a more pleasant greeting might
be effective.
And so, instead of hello, I simply
said "FBI Philadelphia." There was no
reply.
Hope he doesn't call back...and that
all your NEWS is good!
