I went through a period when I worked in Ecuador when I did actually record all my calls. (Long story, but I was involved in a LOT of legal wrangles, and quite a few threats.) The thing that really intrigued me is that when I started to answer the phone: "This is _______, this call is being recorded for security purposes" callers were a LOT more polite, reasonable, and pleasant.

Where I am now, I don't even have the equipment to record calls, but I'm thinking a lot of tele-scammers will hang up the minute I say I do! :D

Say, "Can you repeat that? I want to make sure the recorder caught it." If they ask, clarify that you record all calls for security reasons.

Click.

Ande I do that! And, it works! They usually hang up immediately after I say "this call is being taped"!]]> Guitar Players Discussion Elecktrablue https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/facebook-the-hard-sell/#post-362738 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/facebook-the-hard-sell/#post-362727 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 16:24:26 +0000

That will work in all but the worst cases.

If they persist, ask for their name, dept. and postal address - you need them to pass to your lawyer.]]> Guitar Players Discussion greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/facebook-the-hard-sell/#post-362725 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/facebook-the-hard-sell/#post-362713 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 05:30:16 +0000

If something smells funny, it is.

Thanks for the heads up.

Well done for raising the point, hopefully some others will take notice - I hate the idea of people getting away with things like this - it really makes my blood boil!!!!!]]> Guitar Players Discussion almann1979 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/facebook-the-hard-sell/#post-362697
