Got a call today asking to participate in survey

[djl02]

They asked what I thought about the direction this country was going in,and what was the most important on their list. Last one was all the above. No mention of the Constitution or Bill of Rights. So I told them that was the most important to me. Whats most important ,abortion,economy,health care,imigration,or all the above. Probibly a trick question so I had to elaborate on my view of each.Anyone else get this call?

Telemarketing type callers tend not to get much accomplished when they call me.

And no, I didnt get this call. Sounds like they left some issues out.

 

[DragonGunner]

Did they say who "they" were? I never get these calls, but my son has had some like this. Maybe they already know me an thats why they don't call...?

 

[Colt556]

I never answer the phone unless I know the callers ID. I'm on the NO Call list but it doesn't seem to stop them.

Survey takers are exempt from both federal and state laws, I believe.

I used to try and participate in polls of this sort when they called me, but got fed-up with the loaded questions and the "leading" way most of them were structured. IMO, many were designed to direct one's responses to appear to favor their predetermined conclusion rather than generate valid new data.

Survey takers always get flustered when they call me. It generally goes something like this:

Them: Hello, Mr. Scutter01! I'm calling from Some Marketing Company. Do you have a few minutes to answer some questions?
Me: Sure! How much are you going to pay me?
Them: What? I'm sorry, we don't do that.
Me: Well, why is your time worth more than mine? They're paying you to administer the survey, why won't they pay me to take it?
Them: Uh...uh...

Reminds of me of the episode on Seinfeld. Telemarketer calls Jerry, wanting to ask questions. Jerry says he's busy, but asks to call the telly back at HIS house. The telly says no, he's not allowed to give out his personal number. So Jerry says, "oh, so it would be too much of an inconvience from him to call at the your house." The telly replys, "yes sir" Then Jerry says " Now you know how I feel" And hangs up.
I always thought that was funny

 

[djl02]

Right off the bat they said what it was about, who ever it was agreed with me, and was shared our views,Especially when I brought up,the fact that their trying to destoy the Constitution and Bill of rights. It turned out to be a good thing,in my opinion.

I usually take a more perverted approach
Them: Hello, Mr. @#%&!! I'm calling from Some Marketing Company. Do you have a few minutes to answer some questions?
Me: Sure! What are you wearing?
Hey! It's not phone harassment when they call you.
Don't like it? don't call me!

On another note be mindful of what you say during calls when you are put on hold, these corporate devils pay traitorous people to listen to you to get an advantage over you, I encountered this with a large cell phone company.

They don't like it when you ask them to talk dirty to you.

non profits and businesses you have had previous or current dealings with also. I was a telemarketer younger so you had to know all this crap.

 

[MACHINEGUN]

Whenever I first answer.. I always tell them to give me a minute or two so I can let my dog in.. then I just set the phone down indefinitely.

For some reason I never get calls like this anymore.. no fun!

 

[Von Mises]

I think I got the same survey. But I was drinking Long Islands with the wife and I can't remember what I answered.
