I would be interested in filing a class action suit with other businesses as well as other ex employees like myself.

Below, please find a helpful list that just might get us there by following:

Everytime you get a call you consider junk, just ask the questions in the script. If they answer no, you may be able to sue them.

1. Are you calling to sell something? (or is this a telemarketing call?)

2. Could you tell me your full name please? $

3. And a phone number, area code first? $

4. What's the name of the organization you're calling from? $

5. Does that organization keep a list of numbers it's been asked NOT to call? $

6. I would like my number(s) to be put on that list. Can you take care of that now? $

7. And does the company you work for also make telemarketing calls for any other organizations? (If they answer no, skip the next question.)

8. (If yes) Can you make sure your company won't call me for ANY other organization? $

You may need to ask to speak with a supervisor if they sound lost. When you're ready to let them off, you might close with "is it clear that I never want telemarketing calls from ANYONE?" and just say goodbye. If you feel like making them pay, keep going:

1. Will your company keep my number on its do-not-call list for at least 10 years? $

2. And does your company have a written policy that says that on paper? $

3. Can you send me a copy of it? $

4. What's your supervisor's first and last name?

5. What's your employer's business name, address and main telephone number?

6. Are you calling for a tax-exempt non profit organization?

7. Is this call based on a previously established business relationship?

Before hangin up, check that you have all of their answers written down, then say goodbye. Add the date and time to your record. (Is it between 8am and 9pm? $)

Disclaimer: Nothing here should be taken as legal advise. If they answer "no" to any question ending in "$", you may be able to sue them for $500-$1500 under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. But if the answer to either of the last two questions is yes, then the Act doesn't consider the call to be a solicitation, so it's not covered by many of it's regulations. Also excluded are calls to business numbers.
