How does one get rid of the annoying telemarketers that are pushing "the worlds greatest (yeah, right) tanning lotions? I try the polite approach, then when that doesn't work I tell them I am not interested, stop calling *CLICK*, then I get another call from them about a week later. Over and over and over and over again. It is only going to get worse as we get closer to the busy season.Suggestions?????

I have tried the "just hang up" approach, does not work. Many of them have called back to say we must have been disconnected...DUH! So, we were able to get two companies so far to stop calling us by ordering a BIG order C.O.D. When it arrives, we just refuse it. For some reason, they quit calling to sell us anything. Try it, maybe it will work for you, no money out of your pocket right? maybe the telemarketers will get the hint that we have better things to do with our time than deal with them. It really starts to bother me when this happens after MANY times of telling them no.Mike------------------Take A Trip To The Coast...Palm Coast Tann mike@palmcoasttann.com

I'm not sure on the specifics of this, however, it goes something like this:If a telemarketer calls you and you ask them to not call and to take you off of their list they are mandated to do just that. If they call back within a specific period of time (I think it is 2 years) they can be subject to a substantial fine. The fine is paid to the consumer that they called. In other words - tell them not to call and to take yo off of their list. If they call you back you may be entitled to compensation. I think the phone company could probably tell you more as far as what kind of notes or ecordkeeping you need to do ad how much the fine is. If anyone else has any info on this please reply...like I say I'm not too sure on the specifics.

i think i saw this somewhere else on the board, but here is my reply again...just in case..RSUN must have about 50 people calling on all salons... if one calls me on monday another one calls back by wed. i have tried to get them to stop but they keep on calling...this is one of the things i think i will try next... tell them yes i want the package they are selling that day, COD of course. and when it arrives i will refuse it. sooner or later they should get the point.------------------Mitzi
