I'm going to assume that all the WAH telemarketing jobs are going to be gone.
Has anyone worked this field?

I had heard, that a law was passed that would eliminate 'cold' calls altogether. There were WAY too many complaints about people being called at home to sell a product, the calls were always at an inconvenient time, and I can't imagine they sold much that way anyhow.

SO now, the only calls you can get are companies that you have done business with, or have a current open acct. There will be no more 'out of the blue' phonecalls to sell you a product you have no interest in.

Has anyone else heard this? I'm sure your all so dissappointed you won't be able to do this work anymore. LOL

Sounds good to me.

For a while, I was getting calls every week for someone named Virginia, and it was always the sme guy, who had a pronounced Hindi accent. The first time it happened, I politely told him he had the wrong number. The second time it happened, I politely reminded him that he had called this number before, that I had told him he had the wrong number, and politely asked him to delete the number from his list. The third time it happened, I asked him just how steep his learning curve was, and told him again that I wanted my number deleted from his call list. He then asked me what MY name was. I told him it didn't matter what my name was, since it was not Virginia. He then asked me if I had any unsecured debt. I told him that he was dumber than I thought he was if he thought there was any possibility that I would consider trusting my finances to someone who couldn't grasp the concept of a wrong number.

I thought that only applied if you got put on the national do not call registry. That would be awesome if they outruled it alltogether. Think of all those poor elderly people who don't know about the registry that get talked into things all the time.

I am not sure about what law got passes recently, but I thought it was to prevent the "robo-calls", not all telemarketing calls. I would love it if it was all telemarketing calls. I heard it was only for calls where you get a recorded message and not a live person. I am still getting those on my cell phone though. I get a robo call saying they are calling from "card services" to talk to me about my account, but they don't say what company (fishy...). There is an option to press 2 to remove from the calling list, and the last 3 times I tried this the call disconnected right away. Next times I am going to press 1 to talk to a live person and ask them to remove me from the list.

I'm really tired of all the cold calling trying to sell us everything from steaks to ambien. Some of the numbers are actually fake numbers too or they block it so that your caller ID won't pick it up. I'd rather get junk mail, that way if it is something that interests me I can hang on to it and read it at my leisure. I can't imagine this is a good way to sell stuff.
