Tell them you have an emergency like your house is on fire and will they call 911 for you. When the firetruck rolls up tell them someone was playing a joke or something because everything is fine. The 911 operator can then have the number traced back to the caller who will then be responsible for making fake 911 calls. A misdemeanor in most places punishable by fine or jail time.
That would be mean....yet creative.
Have fun with them!

Ooohhh you're so MEAN!! Ha ha.....I was a telemarketer for 3 yrs trying to sell these stupid coupon books. My little sales pitch was 2 pages long and took FOR EVER to get thru. Sometimes people would just put the phone down and walk away instead of hanging up on me, and I would keep right on talkin' and talkin' and talkin'. That used to make me really mad.

"Now before I listen to your pitch, there are a few things we need to cover. My minimum rate for listening is $35 an hour. Of course, I can offer you upgrades that give you additional benefits, as well as a greater chance that I may buy what you are selling. The deluxe package is $55 per hour and offers a 2 percent chance of purchase, and the super-deluxe package is $75 per hour, and offers a 3 percent chance of purchase. Now before we get to that, I will need you to send in an application as well as a minimal application fee of $55. You will also need to include with your payment a $35 payment for a credit report. Once your credit has been approved, I will be able to accept your non-refundable good-faith security deposit, which I require, of $100. After closing, and you have paid my standard closing costs of $250, we will then be able to proceed with your sales pitch. Can I sign you up?"

I always try to come up with a question or an answer for which they are totally unprepared. For example:
Once when a dance studio kept trying to sell me dance lessons, I told them a few times that I wasn't interested. then I started being rude and hanging up on them, then I finally said, "Oh, you can't teach me to dance." The girl responded, "Sure. We can teach anybody to dance." I said, "Well, ever since I lost my legs in Viet-Nam, I always figured I could never dance." She got real quiet, said, "I'm sorry," and hung up. They never called me again.
Once when I lived on Aspen Avenue (a typical residential street) a window-replacing firm kept calling me saying that they had several jobs going on in my neighborhood and that if I contracted for them to replace my windows right now, they could give me a great price. I asked what houses in my neighborhood they were working on and they could never respond. After a few calls, I asked the salesman if he had ever been to Aspen Avenue. He said he hadn't, but that their installers were all working in the neighborhood right now. I said I really doubted that because all the houses on Aspen Avenue were caves that did not have windows. I never heard from the company again.
Once, I was getting an annoying string of calls from salesmen for a rug cleaner. After telling them a few times that I was not interested, then hanging up on them a few times, I finally asked if the rug cleaner had a sand-blasting attachment. The salesman said, "I don't think so. Why?" I said that all my carpets were cast iron and that that was the best way to clean them. He asked why I had cast iron carpets and I said, "They wear like iron." That was the last I heard from that firm.
Have fun.

Just hang up. Do you realize that many are handicapped people who have no other way to make a living? You can also put yourself on the Do Not Call list.

Next time they call, you start trying to sell them a product, anything you can think of and really push it, don't let them get a word in. It's really funny as they keep on trying to interrupt you with their pre-written script and can't think of anything to say apart from what's written in front of them. Can keep them on the phone for ages before they eventually hang up on you!

Once you see that they're telemarketers, hang up while they're still talking. They never call again and they hate you for it. Very funny to do.

Act as if you are in the middle of playing with yourself....and tell them if they help you finish getting off, you might listen to their bs.

If you can get caller ID where you are I would suggest that, then you won't have to answer the phone in the 1st place. Also try www.donotcall.gov.
