Miffed that this interrupted my call (and that they violated the No-Call mandate) I waited for an operator. The "rep" was evasive about giving any contact info on the company, which is required by the FCC, and when I asked for a phone number they gave me a Texas number. She then got defensive and nasty and hung up on me. Of course I wished to let a supervisor know of all this so I dialed the number right back, only to get a Rejection Hotline script read back to me. So there is a company hiding behind this "fun" product using it for possibly illegal activities. RH should have a responsibility to track who they assign phone numbers to so this kind of activity can be traced if need be, this is not a dating or social situation but a company of dubious legality operating under the smokescreen of this RH.<BR/><BR/>While RH is not directly responsible for the frustration and inconvenience I experienced, their product's presence made it possible for this firm to continue safely targeting innocent consumers. This is another side to this product that people should be made aware of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32667793.post-26262496603676714432007-09-20T18:57:00.000-04:002007-09-20T18:57:00.000-04:00i loved doing this cuz i had this guy whos bi who ...i loved doing this cuz i had this guy whos bi who asked for my number and i gave him this it worked so wellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32667793.post-71716310945371599852007-07-20T14:45:00.000-04:002007-07-20T14:45:00.000-04:00To anonymous 7/20, 10:24 am: you can tell someone ...To anonymous 7/20, 10:24 am: you can tell someone you're unavailable, but that only seems to make them try harder, so you walk away, and they follow you. To prevent from making a scene, you can give them the Rejection Hotline number, just to get them out of your face. If a seemingly nice guy asked for my number, and I wasn't interested, I probably wouldn't give him that number. But if someone gives you the creeps and doesn't understand the meaning of, "I'm unavailable" or whatever, they deserve to get this number!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32667793.post-46560822706978558632007-07-20T10:24:00.000-04:002007-07-20T10:24:00.000-04:00Why would I give someone a rejection hotline numbe...Why would I give someone a rejection hotline number? I can just simply say, thanks, that's so nice of you to ask me out, but I'm not available (married, engaged, in a serious relationship, busy with work, etc.)You can let the guy down easily, no need to be nasty. If he's psycho, you can usually see that right off the bat, and stop any kind of conversation before it gets too far. Tell him you have to go and walk away to a safe area where there are other people.<BR/><BR/>I'm a woman and I don't understand why so many of us feel the need to be nasty to a guy that we don't want to go out with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32667793.post-81080420454308367692007-07-05T23:08:00.000-04:002007-07-05T23:08:00.000-04:00Yes!!!

Yet with that being said there are some charismatic people, that while you are talking with them they seem to be genuinely "interested". And pass the rejection number as their phone number.<BR/><BR/>Personally I quickly study the person and tailor my rejection that will best fit the circumstances. If the guy is one of those jumpy excited types(you know who you are)then won't come across as <I>harsh</I> since no one wants someone to go physco. I have a girlfriend who took the easy way out and gave the guy that rejection number. Well we ran into the guy at RiRas, and he fliped out by saying all these obsceneities. We had to get one of the bouncers to bounce him out of there.

No, I wouldn't want to be given that number, but I wouldn't ask for a phone number of someone who didn't act interested in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32667793.post-37164319387892322112007-07-04T23:27:00.000-04:002007-07-04T23:27:00.000-04:00I agree with the above poster.

If you're not interested then just say so. Just because you didn't give a guy your number doesn't mean he's going to go home and hang himself. Giving a fake rejection line number is gutless, and reflective of the character (or lack there of) you have as a person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32667793.post-49832892761690829112007-07-03T21:51:00.000-04:002007-07-03T21:51:00.000-04:00I'm glad there's a local number here...I heard abo...I'm glad there's a local number here...I heard about a number like this, but it was based in California...not good if you live here.
