blocking telemarketing bastards

What's the best way? Enable call treatment and direct their annoying asses to a busy tone or redirect their calls to their own phone number?

How do you know what their phone number is? The caller ID you see is certain to be spoofed!

Directing them to a busy signal really doesn't harm the telemarketer. They are calling several #'s at the same time and will talk to first one that picks up.

If you want to punish them, then waste THEIR time. Ask them to hold on for a sec, put them on hold, then walk away.

OR:

Just turn the tables on THEM!

Say THANKS FOR CALLING! WE SELL VACATION TIME SHARES! CAN I INTEREST YOU IN ONE!

or say

THANKS FOR RESPONDING TO MY AD! HOW MANY PAINTINGS DID YOU WANT TO BUY? GIVE ME YOUR NAME AND CREDIT CARD #.

or say

DARN YOU, WE WERE JUST HAVING SEX! NOW WE HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN! SAY, MAYBE YOU WANT TO JOIN IN BY PHONE!

Telemarketers cannot deal with those type of responses.

Try redirecting to one of these hysterical numbers:

631-265-0000 Pay Phone
631-360-0000 Hold for Physician’s office
218-488-1302 Psychiatric Hot Line
212-757-9901 Sorry, No LD Carrier Designated
