Ha! Haven't tried it on a male yet, but it did work really well on a female. My parents kept getting calls from a telemarketing company and couldn't get rid of them. I answered the phone one time and simply asked the chick what she was wearing. She laughed it off and continued. I interrupted her and said, "seriously, you sound hot. What are you wearing?" She said, "I'll take you off our list," then hung up. I thought that seemed easy, but it worked and got rid of the calls.

I keep getting these calls on my cell phone but they are using a freakin auto dialer. No one to yell at. They want me to return their call but I don't have the time or energy just to yell at them.

If I ever get a live person though, I'm going to unload on that poor son of a bitch...

Why even have a land line........There's 90% of your cold calls right there

That must be the deal around here. I get the automated shit on my work phone. It's usually a 702 area code...so I've just stopped answering those.

Here's an idea

https://www.donotcall.gov/

I have my land line and both cell numbers listed.

Your registration will not expire. Telephone numbers placed on the National Do Not Call Registry will remain on it permanently due to the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007, which became law in February 2008. Read more about it at http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2008/04/dncfyi.shtm.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
THE NATIONAL DO NOT CALL REGISTRY

The National Do Not Call Registry gives you a choice about whether to receive telemarketing calls at home. Most telemarketers should not call your number once it has been on the registry for 31 days. If they do, you can file a complaint at this Website. You can register your home or mobile phone for free.
