You are so right, Nathan. I also get these annoying phone calls at least once or twice every week. They don't really follow the do not call list.

Via Nathan Tutas (Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.):

Just Google ItHave you had this call? I must get that same call from people representing Realtors on Google, Bing, MSN, Yahoo, etc. at least twice a week. So recently I decided to have a little fun with one of these guys. I asked him how he got my number. “I Googled Davenport Realtor,” was his reply. Strike 1.

Then I asked how he could help me. “We help Realtors get recognized on Google.” Being the smart ass I am I said “Well it sounds like I’m already recognized on Google, you found me didn’t you?” At this point he started getting upset. Strike 2.

Then I mentioned that my number is on the do not call registry and I’m pretty sure it’s a $10,000 fine for each offense. Now he’s yelling. “Well your number is advertised online so that makes it ok to telemarket to you.” “That may be, but I’m not convinced that the federal government will see it that way.” At this point the guy is fuming mad. And I’m sitting there thinking about how funny he must look getting all angry. “Sir, could I get you name please?” Click, he hung up on me. Strike 3. You’re out of there!

While telemarketing might be legal, it’s still really uncool. If I want your services I’ll look you up on Google, just the same way you looked me up. Have a good evening everyone. Just thought I’d bring a little humor to the world.

Google is not the only way to go, we can always check with Better Business Bureau, Yelp. com etc. I am sure if someone has more than 60% negative comments that means there is a red flag. Via Sharon Tara New Hampshire Home Stager (Sharon Tara… more
