Difficulty:

Moderate

Instructions

1. 

   Pick up the phone the next time you get a telemarketing call from a telemarketer trying to scam you, and wait for a live person to come on the line. Act like you're truly interested in whatever the telemarketer is selling. Stay calm, but never give out real information about yourself.

2. 

   Get as much information about the telemarketer and his/her company as you can in order to sue a telemarketer. Ask for the person's name, the name of the telemarketer's company and any other questions you feel will help your case. Remain "interested" and don't allow the telemarketer to have any doubts that you want to buy what the telemarketer is trying to sell.

3. 

   Try to get the telemarketer to send you something in writing. For example, if the telemarketer is trying to get you to extend your fraud car warranty, ask for a copy of the warranty by fax or email. Doing so will give you plenty of information to track the telemarketing company down and sue a telemarketer.

4. 

   File a complaint online with the Federal Communications Commission once you get a copy of the car warranty. You're now ready to sue a telemarketer and get some extra cash!

Tips & Warnings

• Stay determined and keep pretending as though you're interested in what the telemarketer has to sell.

• If the telemarketers calling are complete scam scum that only intend to get money rather than sell anything, you'll most likely here a click on the other end, signaling that the people hung up after you ask for more information.
