Similar experience with telemarketers
I am also having similar experience with telemarketers.
I live in Bellevue in Washington state and even though I put my phone number in do not call registery I get 2 phone calls from a lady saying she is calling from fire fighters association and she is not even giving me chance to talk!!!
Then she rudely says to me 'how much you want to give 35 dollars or 50 dollars' and I am saying I can't decide like this without my husband since he will have to pay. So she says give 10 dollars then and she is insisting for 5 minutes. Finally, I am feeling stupid to say no because she says it is for good cause and I have to agree for 10 dollars.
Then she calls again saying the same story and this time I told her I already agreed to 10 dollars contribution so she says 'it is for good cause what will you give 35 or 40'; then I tell her I need to think but she goes on annoying me.
My friends say I should just say no thank you in the beginning and bang the phone down but I don't want to be rude to somebody doing their job. Another friend says not to agree to anything over phone and just say 'I cannot make agreements over phone like this'.

Beware of Telemarketers
Please be very careful of what you agree to when a telemarketer calls you up at home...
it is best to tell them politely (but firmly) 'thanks, but I am not interested, good bye' and hang up the phone immediately...
They are usually so persuasive that they will offer you some really good deal and make it sound like you will be a fool to refuse...then somewhere down the line, you well get an unexpected bill for the same!
It happened that a newspaper called me and offered 4 weeks of free newspapers and they also said after 4 weeks they will call again and offer me to take up a subscription or discontinue. I agreed and not only did they not send any free papers for the 4 weeks, they did not even call me to ask for subscribing and now they have started sending me bills saying I owe them for so many weeks of the subsscription!
this is not so serious as what happened to a friend to whom some credit card company mailed a credit card without ordering one! Imagine if that had gone to teh wrong hands (this was sent to an old address), somebody could have activated it and used it to spoil his credit...
So please remember that telemarketers are the worst people in america and you should not entertain them at all..

Mr. McDonald
I moved into my new house about 2 years back and when I moved in, I was given a phone number by Verizon that belonged previously to Mr. K. McDonald.
After moving in, I kept on receiving huge number of calls asking for Mr. McDonald, Mrs. McDonald, Ms. McDonald and so on.
One day, it just occured to me and now whenever anyone calls and says 'Can I talk to Mr. McDonald'? I just say 'No McDonald here. Only Burger King'. And the expression that the calling person has just too much.
It may not be a good idea to answer phone calls like that, but that certainly helped me reduce no. of calls.

Concern
J1- Inter company transfer of employees, has become a threat for Citizens, Greencard holders, and H1 holders, as they are swamped the market with low rates. They are not paying any more taxes here, and enjoying the full amount earned and citizens, Permanant residents are loosing jobs. Government should curb J1 visas and the companies activities, if they are doing overseas/offshore development, let them do it there and transefer the technology. This is hitting the IT sector a lot, while others are suffering without jobs. Government should look into this and take serious action.
