Anyone know of any Backdoor numbers to Telemarketers Auto Dialers or even in to their system. Could be good times to mess with those who bother us at dinner.

When I telemarketed in high school, we didn't have an auto-dialer or a pbx. We just called from separate land line phones that had the ringers disabled and no company or individual name registered on caller ID. People would fuck with our dumber employees by calling and then leaving the phone off the hook, leading them to believe they couldn't get a dialtone because omg teh phone was teh brokenz.
Since I was the only person there who stayed there longer than like, 4 weeks, I got to see it happen to new groups of prisoners out for work release every month, and I have to tell you, it kept being funny.

When i did my 3 month stint of Teleharrasment we had to manually Dial numbers from a desk phone behind a pbx and then later went on a auto Dialer. I cant seem to find any links lately to get put on lists anyone got any links for that
the sweepstakes seem to be email only now not phone call based.

yeah, part of the problem is that with new privacy laws, it gets harder and harder for call centers to create scrubbed lead lists and program them into auto-dialers, which are then usually conntected to a PBX. Part of the problem is, too, that people using auto-dialers don't always pay attention to what is going on, and so the recipient of the call gets dead air or confused telemarketers who either don't realize they're not muted, don't realize they're muted, don't know who they're calling, etc, etc.
The (inbound) call center I'm at still uses a hardware PBX hooked up to an Oracle-based call management system. I'd love to get specs and other info, but they keep the systems room with the PBX, network modules, and server under lock and key; even our site manager isn't allowed in without the system admin being present.

As it should be.

how did that reverse prank work that is posted in another section?

He just recorded calls from when telemarketers called him. No technical wizardry necessary.
As it should be.
Agreed.

when listening to them it sounded like a dialer was calling numbers is why im curious.
