Man Turns Tables on Telemarketer




DULUTH, Minn. - An exasperated resident turned the tables on a company that hounded him with telemarketing calls, calling it more than 100 times in two days.



Marc Plaisted said he started calling Minnesota Auto Glass after the St. Peter-based company's telemarketers called him up to three times a day — even after he asked them not to.


Plaisted had figured the calls would stop when he signed on to Minnesota's "do-not-call" list months ago.


"I'm following the law and asking them to be taken off the list and they ignore me and then, on top of it, start swearing at me," he said. "That was where they flipped the switch with me and I said, 'Enough is enough. I'm going after you guys now."


Plaisted started calling the Minnesota Auto Glass's Duluth office last Thursday, and placed more than 100 calls, he said.


"I just called them every five minutes and let them know that, no, I don't have a crack in my windshield, because this seems to be something they are very concerned about," Plaisted said.


A Minnesota Auto Glass manager in Duluth said Plaisted's number had been removed from its list and that proof of the removal would be put in writing.

LMAO!!!!! Good for him!!!!

That's a good one!

That's almost as good as the old one about trying to force the telemarketer to have phone sex with you.

Anyone looked on their caller ID lately at past calls? I've noticed allot of the one's that were unknown suddenly have names and numbers now on mine.

Anyone ever see that commercial where the guy holds the phone through the subway, bus, etc, goes to the telemarketing office and smashes his phone?
