You might enjoy this anti-telemarketing script I ran across a while back.

I never answer telemarketer calls anymore. My wife and I have two numbers; one public and one private. The private number has a special ring that lets us know it's a friend (or someone to whom we have given the number) calling. Backed with caller ID and the No-Call List, I never have to hear from telemarketers.

We had just gotten caller ID and we get this call that says "no caller ID". So I answered it and this guy asks for my Dad, well instead of just telling him the truth (shame on me!), I said "I'm sorry he and his wife died and moved to England last year." Then I hung up on him. The only thing I wish I had done differently was to stay on the line and see how he responded. Oh well! :0D

I usually attempt to sell them something. I sold the dog to the last telespammer. Sucker never paid tho, so I didn't ship.

My wife has a little baby voice, so she says "My mom and dad aren't home right now"! The little sinner!
