The unsolicited computer phone calls…

How many of you out there want to voice your frustration about being interrupted in the middle of dinner by those nagging automated computer calls?

After putting in a long day of work I come home and just want to relax. Instead, I receive this automated dialer phone call with a long lag, at which a marketing person comes online and tries to sell you something that you don’t want to even hear about.

The list of numbers comes from a database that is sold to these marketing people. For database removal listings go here: http://www.crimes-of-persuasion.com/Victims/list_removal.htm

I have installed a little device that is supposed to stop most of these by sending a little ping or some sort of signal when the phone is picked up. This then signals the data base that your number is not a good number and the connection does not go through. After several months of using it my wife and I have both come to the conclusion that it helps.

What it doesn’t help against is, the pushy sales people that call at various times.

Sound Off Here… What stories do you have? (Nice language only)

More On Multilevel Marketing

Image
A reader wrote to me regarding an online multilevel marketing article I wrote and felt I did not do justice to representing MLM properly. Message sent: I read your article on Multi-level Marketing where you state 'We tell it like it is.' You've really missed the mark with this one. There are hundreds of multi-level marketing companies from Avon to Watkins. Companies like Mary Kay, Shaklee, Tupperware, Pampered Chef, Discovery Toys and many, many more all pay on multiple levels. That's what multi-level marketing means. The 'companies' you described in your article are illegal pyramid schemes. True multi-level companies are responsible for millions of dollars in sales every year. Do a real service to your readers. Do some more research and get it right.

Free Internet Information Repackaged And Sold

Can you believe it! By: James A. Warholic Information that is free is trying to be peddled and sold as special reports... It is one thing to charge for an article when a publisher has given permission. It is something else altogether, Plagiarism and Copyright Infringement when someone else tries to sell an article without expressed permission to sell it by the original publisher. Print Publishers Vs Online Publishers Since the mid 90s when the Internet took off in such a huge way the old-line print publishers went looking for ways to cover their declining market share to the Search Engines. Encyclopedias that were once sold to schools and universities for thousands of dollars had all but become obsolete. Colliers, Britannica, Grolier, Compton, and other reference encyclopedias have had to try and reinvent themselves for the Online publishing world. Internet Business Models For Earning Revenue There are several business models for earning revenue from original manuscripts, technical a
