SCAM ALERT! Telemarketing, fake prizes, and endless surveys are driving me insane!
in Miscellaneous ·
They call me every single day—if I actually get two or three days of peace, they just make up for it by hitting me with two or three calls in
one go. It’s always some different company, either about phone services or
some nonsense about winning prizes. For a few months, I tried being polite. I listened.
I said thank you and then declined, but after that, I just started saying "no thanks" right away and
hung up—even begging them to stop calling... but honestly, it doesn't work.
Being nice is useless. Today, I’m mid-cooking, lunch is boiling over, one kid is crying, the other is yelling
from the bathroom, the phone rings, and of course, it's some prize from New York... enough.
I am totally done with being polite and following etiquette and saying thank you. What kind of business is this anyway? Who
even does this and why??? What "prizes"? These calls are incredibly irritating; who even falls for
the scam that someone is just handing out prizes for nothing? It's awful.
