[Resolved]  ICICI Prudential — TELEMARKETING CALLS

Dear Sir,

With ref. to subject cited above, this is to bring in your kind notice that the representatives of subject mentioned company are giving 3-4 telly marketing calls every day at my residence number[protected]. My family is being disturbed every day, some times at odd hours. If we warn them not to call at this number since we are interested in their products, they mis-behave and give another call instantly to show their dareness. I have already filed my complaint with the BSNL but no action has been taken till now. Following are the names of few persons who are calling at my above numbers: -

1. Naveen Bhardwaj.
2. Gopal.

How to deal with pesky calls

I used to receive pesky calls/ telemarketing calls from many of the notorious companies in India. Some of them are follows:
1. ICICI Bank, ICICI Lombard, ICICI Prudential
2. Reliance Group
3. Bajaj Allianz
4. HDFC
5. Excel Insurance
6. ING Vysya

Nowadays, this is what I normally do while dealing with them:

I would just attend their call, and if they ask name, I would just give a fake name. While speaking to the telemarketer, I used to show some interests in their call/business/products. Then I ask some questions on their products, returns that I get if it is a financial product, whether I would get any Tax Benefits, etc. Then I politely tell them, as I am in office and busy with work, whether they could send an executive to my home on coming Saturday. Once they agree, I would just provide a wrong Residential Address to them (I used to give the residential address of a former Airtel Sales Executive, whom I screwed years back after he cheated me Rs. 2000. I already got refund money. But still I do some fun game with this fellow)

On Saturday, these telemarketers use to call me before coming to my Residence. I use to tell them to come before 2:30 PM or 3:00 PM. Once they reach the mentioned address, they could not find me. They use to make hell lot of calls (normally 30 to 50) and I do not attend the calls. Finally they would get fed up and also lose their half-day or full-day.

You guys can also try this method. It is very interesting and funny.
