How to handle pesky telemarketers on the phone
Caller: Hello, am I speaking to Mr. Gaurav Gupta?
Me: Yes
Caller: Very good afternoon Sir, I am Falah Dimkana calling from UCUCU bank. Are you currently using any credit cards from UCUCU bank?
At this point, just interrupt the conversation and answer back sternly (or even rudely) – “What is your TC code?”
The telecaller will be stunned since not many of them are used to getting stern replies like this. In all probabilities, they will hesitate to tell you their code.
Then ask them their full name, the name of their team lead and their team lead’s code, and pretend that you are noting down everything.
Threaten them by saying that your name is in the NDNC list and that you will register a complaint against the bank with this TC code if you again get a call from this bank ever.
The telecaller will apologize and hang-up. Do this for all banks that compromise your sanity.
It really works 😉
great article 🙂
waise TC code = TeleCaller Code ?
yeah. But you say “TC code”, not “telecaller code” to them, as this the terminology these guys use internally too.
Let me try this 🙂
