Telemarketers

[HeroInBlack]

Since we have a few former telemarketers in the thread, can one of you help me with this: I had one company that called me at least 4 consecutive days, maybe more. Every time, I had just hung up the phone on them without saying anything. Finally the 5th day or so, I told the guy they had called me 4 consecutive days and to quit calling me. He said that since I hadn't told anyone I wasn't interested, they didn't know I wasn't, and that's why they kept calling.

Is that a standard practice? Just keep calling until you are told not to?

On a side note, even after arguing with this guy for a couple minutes, they company kept calling for another week or so, so maybe they were just especially stupid or unorganized.
