Just wanted to share with other readers a bitter bad experience with a vexatious
and hysteric telemarketer who called on behalf of 'The League Club', Chennai. If
this is the attitude of thier telemarketers what would be the quality of the
club and their services?

The original email has also been forwarded to Chennai Commissioner besides
Airtel (my telephone operator) and Web Team of The League club. Unfortunately,
all email addresses of The League Club are bouncing.

Thanks and Regards,

Subject: Vexatious and Annoying Telemarketing Call from The League Club, Chennai
-- Regarding

Hello there,

Today (9th July, 2008) around 1400 hours, I got a call from some one who told
calling on behalf of 'The League Club'. She failed to introduce herself (which
is the first telemarketing etiquette). She virtually barged into the one-duplex
conversation of narrating offers on The League Club Membership.
I interrupted her and confronted her with the following single statement:

"You are not supposed to call me since I am registered for more than an year
with NDNC operated by TRAI. You should really make some earnest efforts in
understanding NDNC and Privacy Requirements of the Potential Customers".

She hurled a hostile word in Tamil like "porukki" and banged the phone down with
a huge thud sound. I really don't understand if the above polite advisory was in
anyway that harsh. There had been a spurt of calls from 1304 to 1327 and the
entire call durations ranging from 2 minutes to 30 minutes. [The total call
duration of the calls from their subnet totals upto 30 minutes].
The following are the phone numbers that I am getting a call number till about
half an hour back. A continuous circle of two or three persons were flying
abuses unabated for the period of 30 minutes. In the lighter vein, had I been
Chitragupta, who checks for sins committed, I would frankly say that the sins
committed by them and the words used by them would just label them as gruesome,
heinous sinners of the world. It is 1521 now and till 1450 the calls
continues unperturbed.

Call Origin Numbers (as flashed from CLI of mobile Phone):

*+914424712977 (1303,1304,1337)
*+914423700060 (1327)
*+914423700075 (1300, 1301, 1304)You may observe that the call landed from
numbers (1) and (3) concurrently. Since I had conference facility active, I just
thought instead of wasting my time over these illegal telemarketers, let me just
hook them into conference and put on hold so that they get bored off in their
own, instead of wasting my time, energy and also jeopardizing my mental
tranquility.

Since the caller was persisting very much to a nauseating and disgusting extent,
I switched off the phone for ten minutes and when I switched on, I got the
following Missed Alert from Airtel:
"You have missed calls from +9144237700075 (44:1313), +914424711766(1:13:11) and
+914424712977 (8:13:5)".

Again I started getting the calls. When I picked up, the guy openly started to
hurl unparliamentarily abuses in Tamil language. He even wanted me from refrain
using English and speak in Tamil. He was openly brandishing that he knows upper
hands and can trace out and threatening of physical assaults and harassments. I
really wonder about some base, mean, people's attitude towards a gentle
advisory.
I have reported the very first telemarketing attempt to Airtel and also the
subsequent flurry of assaults from their network to Airtel Customercare. As per
telephonic discussion with 121 PhoneCare (Airtel), I am writing the entire
incident in detail to Airtel CustomerCare in writing besides Chennai
Commissioner of Police (cop@...).

Should you require further assistance, please feel free to contact me anytime on
my mobile number 91 98400 26014 and I would be glad to assist with any
information that I can help you out with this investigation.

Cc: League Club Administration*, League Club Website Management Team*, An
Archival Copy (for my own email), Airtel Mobile Plan Specific Support
*The website http://www.THELEAGUECLUB.IN/ [http://www.theleagueclub.in/] did not
have any contact email addresses and hence I did a preliminary investigation to
get their contact address from http://www.registry.in/cgi-bin/whois.cgi
[http://www.registry.in/cgi-bin/whois.cgi] and marking them a Cc too. This was
necessary since the phone numbers mentioned would be circuitous and again
landing on those vexatious telemarketers without providing any relief.
