Angry Telemarketer Calls Back, Chews You Out For Hanging Up

I have a friend who works as a telemarketer. It's one thing when he gets hang-ups, but he's also had people threaten to come down to the office and shoot him. If you are on the do-not-call list, file a complaint. If you aren't don't get upset about it.

On a funny side note, at a previous job he once had to call someone who had won a drawing for a $2000 canoe in a raffle. The winner's wife hung up on him thinking it was a scam. He called back. That guy was really happy he did.

There is a company in my area that calls and asks you if you'll answer a few questions for a survey. I was bored so I answered. They said they'd put me in a drawing. A couple weeks later they called and said I'd won 1/2 off on siding. I've won twice now!!! Now I just need to see if I can use both coupons at the same time. It seems to be a legitimate company using a sleazy tactic to get around the no-call list using the survey exemption.
