Excellent...

Judging from what I've heard from several telemarketers, this was probably the highlight of her day.

"911, please hold!" Nice.

Pure. Genius.

thank god we have laws that prohibit phone marketing to private households over here :-)

That's great. How do you know beforehand it's a telemarketer, though? If I had tried this today, I would have scared off the DHL lady calling me about my delivery.

Probably caller ID. Did DHL really call you about a delivery or are you pulling my leg? I've had horrible service from DHL. I'm lucky if they bother to stop and bring a package to my door, they usually just drive by and toss it out. Ok, that's an exaggeration, but the last two times they delivered something to me, they didn't bring it to my door, they left it at the bottom of the steps and took off. One time it was a notebook, and it was pouring down rain. I stayed home to wait for the delivery because it was supposed to require a signature.

I haven't had a telemarketing call in a long time since the do-not-call thing went in place. I also don't have a land line any more. I always thought it was illegal for them to call a cell phone, but I found out the hard way it isn't. I now have my cell phone on the list, and it's been years since I've had one call me.

If only there were an equivalent technique for answering the door to doorstep evangelists at 8am on a Sunday. Other than being completely naked.

Aren't 911 operators law enforcement officers?
Isn't impersonating a law enforcement officer a crime?

No other technique is necessary.

My ex-girlfriend did this at my place a few months ago. They haven't been back since.

from the YT comments, poster says "its my phone, they called me" .. he's not doing anything wrong .. think about it, how can you impersonate a 911 operator to the extent of causing detriment or harm to anyone calling your 10 digit number from a business... they weren't expecting 911, and don't need it

Not in Australia they aren't. My sister in law mans(womans?) the 000 (Australian version of 911) phones and she is not a law enforcement officer at all.

They called, although it was because my package was in customs and they needed to send me a bill for VAT to be paid before they can deliver. And delivery was fine, straight to my workplace. I've heard the horror stories, though.
