Yep, I'll bet the 'check is in the mail'...

Just like my rebate checks from Best-Buy, etc. (260 days later, check arrives).

/didn't rtfa

I'm not doing anything and I need some money for my drugs give me a call

There are a hundred reasons that this won't last long, but then that's what I said about eBay.

You set your per-minute fee, but set it too high and no one will call (kinda like being paid $1/envelope for "stuffing envelopes at home" but you never get sent any envelopes to stuff. The range suggested when you sign up is 10-50 cents/minute.

You have to answer a "simple" question at the end of the call to make sure that you paid attention. I wonder how simple the question really is, and whether a sleazy telemarketer would claim that you got it wrong to save the cost of the call.

Telemarketers will find that the type of people who sign up for this aren't interested in buying anything, and then it will fizzle out.

This could be a really profitable venture.
Just pretend you're hard of hearing and make them repeat everything two or three times. That way you could rack up a lot of minutes and have a little fun at the same time.

TM: Hello, I'd like to talk to you about our "Loads of Wealth" program.
You: How's that? Colon Health?

/hilarity ensues?

sounds good to me.

Didn't we just do this, like, five years ago? "Get paid to surf the net" I think it was.

I'm not impressed.

make a little extra Chuck E. Cheese money,

Fat white trash cow. Want to save money, try cooking. Maybe if you didn't have so many brats...

Yes, and if you do it once, they have an existing business relationship with you and are no free to call you as much as they want for a couple of years....

crap, read "no free" as "not free"
(if only there was a preview function :)

geez, "now free" "now free" aaarggh

If I signed up with a bunch of different phone numbers, all coming to my house, does that mean I could make $60 an hour?

This has been around for awhile, but it's always been a well kept secret! I made $80,000 last year doing this part time! My friend in Chicago was able to take his wife and children on that vacation they always wanted! Justin Mikroch from some town in New Hampshire was able to retire at the young age of only 12! Now you too can do this, but don't trust some cheesy website. For a small fee, I will email you a link to that website, and you can be sure it was an email!

Yes, and if you do this, you'll be setting up a "prior relationship," which means they can call you whenever they like.

I'm sure the check will arrive the same day as my Guinness Bar Towel.

Space-ass-farkers want to butt-fark all the biatches that be all up in this. It are am special.

I just got a new job making $60/Hour!!!

With the "prior relationship" thing....couldn't you just say "put me on your do-not-call list"?

One thing I didn't see was how to remove yourself from this "service" if you decided you didn't like it.

I'm guessing any phone number I put in there will work. Including any ex-girlfriends, annoying coworkers... hilarity will ensue.

Answer..really..really..slowly...

Well will you look at that. I can enter $30 a minute as my bid amount. Just listen to this testimonial:

"I get the great discounts from drug companies that bid on my time. Its great! I am in demand Bob Utall Grandfather Miami Beach. FL"

I'm quitting my job tomorrow morning, and is my boss ever going to feel stupid when I tell him how much money I'm going to make.

I only have a mobile so I haven't heard a telemarketer in years. I feel sorry for those poor bastards though. Sure they're annoying but spending all day getting yelled at can't be fun.

"There is no catch... Just sign up and your favorite Advertisers will offer you
sweepstakes opportunities and cash to learn more about their products and sevices. "
sweepstakes opportunities? i call shenanigans

works for me.

I got a survey in the mail the other day, and decided to look at it before I threw it away, and to my suprise there was 4 bucks cash paperclipped to it. Not much, but enough for me to throw it back on my countertop instead of the trash, and if I ever get around to it, I'll fill it out and send it in.

I also wonder about the 40 people who Didn't sign up for the "no call list"... are there poor phones ever NOT ringing, or did telemarketers just say "screw it" and stop calling everyone?

jaynzz

we shall see how that works.

/just signed his whore ex up for the hour long call

So you basically get $60 an hour if you can keep them talking?

Forget this. If you really want to make some cld hard cash, I can tell you how to make thousands from posting tiny little adds in newspapers from a one bedroom apartment. It's a partime job with a fulltime income.
Ask for Mr. Dupree

Ahh, MachuPichu, it's good to know there are others who feel jilted in the mysterious disappearance of their Guinness Bar Towel.

"Didn't we just do this, like, five years ago? 'Get paid to surf the net' I think it was."
I don't know about anyone else but I actually got a check or two from that,

MachuPichu

I'm sure the check will arrive the same day as my Guinness Bar Towel.

Man, I was just thinking about this the other day. When will the damn thing come anyway? I remember getting a mailing a while back saying it was coming soon...but that was weeks ago.

As a telemarketer myself (sad, yes, but nice bucks if ya do it right) I will say that a lot of the companies HAVE the money to afford this. I found a lawsuit on the calling floor and had threats made against ME if I said anything. I was 16, and did my own research and figured how much that company had made as a whole in it's last year, realizing that perhaps I shouldn't fark around yet fark this place if they threaten to sue me for something I found in a stack of open papers. Either way I got a call at my home saying that if anyone found out about it 'I will make sure you don't get a chance to tell anyone else...We need a meeting.' I sent my mom in tehre the next day and she FLIPPED TITTY on em, it was great. haah whata joke. APAC CUstermer Service and Telemarketing. Oh yes, the wonderful thing was the lawsuit actully went through and that center closed a year later. haha The guy that sued em was a well educated man that would go to work at places and then a few months later find something retarded to sue over. He had LOTS of money, and donaetd almost half of the funds to rebuild the local library. So yes, a real life Robin Hood... stealin from the rich greedy farkers and giving it to the poor and ready.
Back to the story though, I think this is a scam, obviously, like anything else you are called for. I currently market for the New York Times selling subscrips at half ff for 8 weeks. It aint a bad gig, pays well and it's honest, plus I can read the NYT the whole while I am there.

Nice. And with this system you get paid for that and I can get paid for making insinuatingly snide comments to you.

I used to like getting calls from telemarketers. They were like prank calls except that your victim is calling you. Heh heh, fun times.

still not worth it
/click

I'm sure the check will arrive the same day as my Guinness Bar Towel.

Hell yah ive ben waiting since uhh what, November?

MusicMakeMyHeadPound Ya, I enjoy the prank umm customers. Makes time go by faster I think. Although, it's nice to have people ready to give their credit card numbers to a strager, too. At my old gig, we used to prank people after 9, and be like " This is your favorite radio station, and for a chance at a Cancun vacation, WHO ARE WE!" People sceraming in the background for what the hell radio do they listen to. Lots of disappointments. hehe And I LOVE getting those people who go off on me useall sortrs of nauty words, and such. I just go 'hu huh... ' And they get even more pissed. And the born again X-tians are the best. I love being told I am going to hell just because I called during their dinner hour.

jaymzz: DUDE! YOU'RE A TOTAL GENIUS!! YOU CAN SIGN UP YOUR LYING CHEATING EX AND GET HER PAID 1 CENT A CALL! THAT WAY ALL THE MARKETERS WILL BE CALLING HER AND ANNOYING HER AND STUFF!!

i am a firm believer in "revenge is a dish best served through the mouth of changing long distance."

/rubs hands together maniacally.

Speaking as someone who already owns a Guiness bar towel, from a similar promotion years ago, I feel compelled to tell you all that there has to be a better reason to "X" the days off your calendars.

speak up a lil bit darlin, i'm hard a hearin.

Pfft. I'm not signing up for anything if there's no chance of earning a hot cocoa sampler box.

I always used to hand telemarketing calls to my wife back when she spoke like 5 words of English. And it wasn't Spanish or something she spoke, it was Czech, so that made it all the more fun.

Mm, good times. She still hasn't forgiven me, of course.

mmmm... hot cocoa sampler box...

not sure how much I trust them to stick to that though... worest case, there's always "put me on your do not call list"
I'm actually starting to consider doing it. I think I'll do a bit more searching the net for testimonials that aren't hosted by them first...

I wonder if they'll deliver the guiness bar towel inside a hot cocoa sampler box. 2 birds with one stone.

Well, even assuming this is NOT a fraud, I'm sure it's no way to make big $$ either. Think about it: they know how much you've ordered. How many more "paid calls" do you think you'll be getting if you never order anything? And how would you turn a profit if you DO order junk from them?

Milquetoast1,
I have never purchased a single thing over the phone, but would still get 2-5 calls a day before the do not call list started. I think all these companies have the idea in their heads that their product is 10 times better than anything that ever existed, so there's no doubt you'll buy 'this time'.
That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if previous buyers got more calls either. If this company really does track how often you've ordered, and shares it with the telemarkters, maybe order the first really cheap thing you're offered, then watch the calls pour in?

Here's another idea, get one of those cell plans that give you unlimited calls, then sign up for:

autowraps (about 16/hour for full time) + This telemarketing company (a few more bucks per hour at the least)

You'll be paid to drive a car and talk on the phone, easy enough for a well trained chimp to do, and decent money to boot.

I don't know what this means... but if you google "adnoodle", the second hit is http://www.rightsexchange.com. And it's the same site.
