| Hi, everyone....
What do you think is the best thing to do with those pesky telemarketers?
What neat tricks have you found to play on them?

| A series of disconnected, disjointed sentences will usually make them hang up.
Also, putting your number on the do not call list and getting the address of the Corporate Headquarters to report the company usually stops the calls.
They need to hear "No" at least three times.

| good one Miko...
If it is a woman.... I ask her for her phone number, and she asks why, cause I think she has a sexy voice and would like to try that phone sex with her...
If it's a man..... I say... no speaka englis... and if they start speaking spanish or get someone else on the phone that speaks spanish, then I say .. I don't understand a word your saying...

| If I'm in a goofy mood I'll mess with them. I had one guy convinced that his call convinced me to end it all. I had him going for about 5 minutes before I let him off the hook. My son had to leave the room he was laughing so hard and didn't want to give it away.
Deserted...that was f-ing hilarious!!!!
