From the company
who brought you the Telemarketer Stopper™
in 1999...

The
Telemarketer Destroyer™
Don't
Get Mad... Get Even!
Send
the next Telemarketer who calls you a message
that... You
really don't want another call from them!

your PC (546K)
Please
turn your speakers down before playing!
Simply
put, the Telemarketer
Destroyer™
plays a short nonsensical conversation that will make the
Telemarketer turn up their headset volume, and try to listen to what's being
said. After about 20 seconds, a very loud and annoying tone
will play from your PC through your
phone's handset, to the headset pressed tightly to the ears of the person
who's been calling you at dinner time, early in the morning, or late
at night (Oh, but it's not 10:30PM here in India?!?).
You can
make any message/sound you'd like with a PC sound editor and microphone
(the raw tone file is at the end of this page). If you'd like to
share something you've created that's particularly effective (and
not obscene), send it to us and we'll post it at the end of this
page.
The
Telemarketer
Destroyer™ will
tell Telemarketers and Bill Collectors that:
"I'm not going to take it any more!"
...in a
way they won't be able to ignore.
The Telemarketer
Destroyer™ connects to the handset jack of
most modern phones (with an electret transmitter) with a dial in the base... Digital phones, electronic phones, VoIP phones, office phones...
and any phone that has the dial in the base.
Just connect it to the speaker
output of the PC Sound Card or a portable MP3 Player
(with the annoying sound file), and click to play.
It's just "asking"
the Telemarketer to stop calling you in a more forceful way than
you've been able to in the past (they haven't listened to your
previous complaints, have they?).
Swearing,
screaming or yelling at a Telemarketer doesn't do any good.
They've heard it before, and they'll hear it again in the next few
minutes. Making it painful
for them to call you is another story... While it gives you a chuckle,
keeps your blood pressure down, saves your voice, and
it won't scare the kids or dog.
The Telemarketer
Destroyer™ comes with a Stereo
Y Adapter so you can leave your speakers connected at the same
time, and it has a switch to allow you to turn the audio feed to your phone
on or off when needed - while the speakers on your PC still work.
NOTE: Due to the design
of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), telephones and
headsets,
there is no danger of hurting the Telemarketer's hearing when you
play the loud tone to them. The volume of the tone is limited, but
it's designed to startle a Telemarketer who's thinking a human
will answer. The Telemarketer
Destroyer™ should not be used to
call out to callers. There are laws against harassing individuals
and businesses over the phone by calling them repeatedly. With
today's modern telephone network it's unlikely your number wouldn't
be identified (dialing *67 to block your Caller ID is useless when
calling an 800 number). That said, most of us are wondering
why it's legal for the Telemarketers to call us even once? The
purpose of the Telemarketer Destroyer™
is to suggest to Telemarketers that they get a different type of
job. I'm not sure where Telemarketing companies find people to take
the kind of abuse they must take every day, all day long, but with
enough people using the Telemarketer
Destroyer™ to send these workers a message, the
Telemarketing companies will be forced out of business. While
we can't post obscene recordings that you play to Telemarketers here,
it got me wondering why all of the Telemarketers and Bill Collectors
aren't suing their employers for sexual harassment? When
they're told to "Go ***k yourself" several times an hour
in the course of their employment (and maybe something worse), you'd
think these employees would simply sue their employers for sexual
harassment, and never have to work another day in their lives?!? "It's
not like it's a secret that people hate being called at dinner!" The
real reason Telemarketers keep calling is that some of us are buying
their stuff, which as often as not is a rip-off anyway. If we all
stopped buying their stuff, they'd go away. Same story for email
SPAM. While you or I can fight
these people one way or another, older people like our parents are
prime targets for telemarketers that take advantage of them. It's a
scary story, but the New York Times has an incredible four page
story of a gang of crooked Telemarketers making calls right this
second:

If you're using older
phones (with carbon transmitters), Trimline style dial-in-handset
phones, or cordless phones without a handset, just get a cheap
modern phone with the dial in the base, and put it by your PC with
the Telemarketer Destroyer™
attached. Order

Another way to fight Telemarketers is just keeping them on the
line for as long as possible, wasting their time. Tom
Mabe, a comedian who specializes in yanking the chains of
Telemarketers around the country, was on The
Bob & Tom Radio Show. If you listen to Tom making this
Telemarketer's day the worst in his life, it should give you some
great ideas for your next Telemarketer call:

In
1999, Mike Sandman Enterprises, Inc. came out with the
Telemarketer Stopper™, the
first device that played the SIT Tone
(the three tones you hear from the Phone Company when a number
is disconnected) automatically when you answered the phone, which
told the predictive dialer used by Telemarketers that your phone
line was disconnected. Unfortunately
some "dialing for dollars" is done by humans, who don't have a
predictive dialer, and who are less easily fooled into hanging up. Click

Download the audio file to use with your
Telemarketer Destroyer™, or play it back on your
own device. To save the file, right click
the link, and save the file to your hard drive (and then to your MP3
Player?). Remember, it would be impolite to let the Telemarketer
hear you laughing after you play this: Hello,
Hello, then unintelligible speech and the very loud tone (550K) Very
loud tone alone. Works great! (240K) These
audio files, including the SIT tone, are free. There is no Copyright
claimed on them.
