  • Fed Up Man Threatens Telemarketer

    A man in Ohio threatened a telemarketer allegedly because the company kept calling to offer vehicle warranties. The man apparently lost his temper and told the telemarketer he would blow up buildings and kill people. He was arrested and brought to St. Louis where the company is based. He's charged with making terrorist threats.

    Have you ever lost your patience with a telemarketer?

    • Everytime they call I do.
    • Yes, but I've never made those kinds of threats.
    • I just don't answer the phone.
