Re: telemarketers

I usually just hang up as soon as I know its telemarketing. I usually do not get another call for a while. If someone is trying to sell me stuff at work I use Jana's line and hang up on them.

If I am bored or want to have some fun, I like the Sienfeld approach. Sound interested as soon as they call and politely interrupt them and say "You know, I really would like to pursue this at another time. Could you give me your home phone number so that I can call you later when you are off the clock? What? You don't want me calling you at home? Well thats just unbelievable! So on and so forth....."

A friend of mine trys to get them to talk to him as long as possible about anything and makes them hang up. He loves punishment I guess.
