Sick of telemarketers/debt collectors?

sue them.

thats right. sue them. make well over 1k for each one. I was just watching tv and the news was on, and they had an interesting story:

a man use to be called constantly by debt collectors and telemarketers, and somehow managed to figure out a loophole.

he actually sues the people that call him, using loopholes in the system. he actually gives his name and number out to ever contest, sweepstakes, and all other opportunities he can to get his number out to telemarkets, and then sits and waits for them to call. after they mess up and go past what they can do, he threatens a suit, and either way he comes out the victor, he either gets a nice settlement check (1500 ez) or else he goes to court and eats them alive

he has no job, he lives at home with his kat, and makes over 100k a year easy.

a chapter from his book is at the end of this, inc ase anyone is further itnerested fyi

he manages to get ppl to go past what they are allowed to do, regardless of if they mean to or not, then pounces on them...

http://www.lawsuitchaser.com/index.htm for more information

this guy never even finished highschool, and hes making 100k a year... maybe yall wont care about it btu i found this to be very itneresting, and for 15 bucks, im actually considering buyin this book.

this appealedt o me most because we ALWAYS have telemarketers calling at my house...and hell...im sure if i tried i could make alot from them





==============================
"Lawsuit Related Questions

My first and most often used method began by asking questions pertaining to a potential lawsuit against me. Once I received a phone call from a collector, I would role play. I would be the debtor who is scared out of his mind of getting sued and had no idea of what a lawsuit entailed. In reality, I was thoroughly knowledgeable with the judicial process and knew what actions could really be taken and what a mere empty threat was. As the collector made statements such as, “further collection activity will be taken” or “we may pursue other avenues in collecting the debt,” I responded with, “What do you mean collection activity?” or “If I’m going to be sued, then I will pay right away.” I even had the collector explain to me how a lawsuit worked and the possible outcomes involved. Just as I expected, the collector would talk about possible litigation, judgments, liens, garnishments, and lawsuits. I always put it back on the collector to have an internal dialogue and thinking, “He sounds afraid and concerned with a lawsuit, maybe I should threaten him a little. He said he would pay to avoid getting sued. That must be his weakness.”

Not only did I ask open-ended questions, I made the impression that I was genuinely concerned by changing the tone of my voice to a softer, slower, disappointed, and distraught debtor in conjunction with changing my breathing pattern to accompany the tone and pace of my voice. I frequently let off bellowing sighs after being threatened by a collector to portray my distraught, concerned, and conquered image. On occasion, I sobbed as the collector thought I was completely vulnerable and an easy target for such threats and abuse. This moved the collector into thinking he had the upper hand. Then the collector would go in for the kill, so to speak. The collector had to believe I was emotionally unstable due to the unexpected blow of a potential lawsuit. Once the collector felt that a threatening statement would push me into paying the debt out of fear of such a suit, the collector began to use immense verbal force and deliver a final round of false threats. Often the collector would threaten me, regardless of whether I seemed weak or not. My strategy empowered me to use the collectors’ tactics against them. As they were looking for my weaknesses and vulnerabilities, I was looking for theirs. I played off of theirs as they played off of mine, only I benefited from it via lawsuit and they got fired for violating the law. I never used this method until the collector made subtle hints and/or suggestions of a lawsuit. I can’t be worried about something that was never threatened against me. In a sense, the collector fishes for opportunities to exploit the debtor. They hang a couple hints and or remarks of a lawsuit over the debtor’s head, waiting for a reaction—more specifically, a scared reaction. Once the debtor shows fear, the collector finds the debtor’s weakness and attacks it."

I was watching the news a couple weeks ago and they said something about a high school dropout putting his number on the no-call list and would sue every telemarketer that calls him. Your information seems a lot like the one I watched.
But the obvious way to deal with telemarketers is to get a cell phone. By law, they can't call you on your cell phone because it would cost you minutes.
