How to stop telemarketing phone calls?

[Molly]

Just lately we seem to get that bloody Indian woman ringing at tea time to ask for the owner of the house. I've tried 'piss off' but it doesn't seem to work.

Anybody know how I might go about stopping these f'kin' nuisance calls? You'd think by now I could buy a digital phone that'd filter out this shite.

caller id usually shows 0000 or private call i usually just say i will go get the boss then put the phone down and go about my business, they hang up eventually

we used this and I cannot remember the last time we had a call.

Takes a while for it to trickle thru - but it does work

Plan B is to get a high power air horn and blow it down the phone.

i use THIS


failing that .. tell her that if she does not remove you or place you the NO CALL LIST then you will report her


failing that .. find her number and call her at 0330 every morning

Used to be the jehovahs popping around,now the tele marketers are worse.

Neighbours dad had the religous guys sussed,they called as his family were sitting down to tea,he stood at the door listening and asked to see the quote which the rligous geek said.When the bible was produced and read from,my mates dad lit the bottom of the book while the guy read from it,never returned after that.

After the first rugby world cup(remember we won it,never since)and after suffering a wicked hangover,a mate came and gave my car a grease as suspension needed it,as we were having a coffee a knock at the door.Turned to see to suit wearing mormans,went to door and after they spoke said sorry mates,my friend is in the bedroom having his way with my Mrs,took coffee to bedroom and told my mate come up here,pulled drapes back a bit and got wife and mate to wave as they walked passed.The look of shock was priceless,forgot my headache for a minute as well.

just be really off putting ask them what they are wearing make some groaning sounds etc you know the usual they dont call back to much after that and if they do you get some interesting convo's!

They've stopped calling here when I tell them with a very sad voice the person they are after has died. We have not had another call since.

I tried the mocking, accent pulling, wasting their time, but they still called back. I don't like to joke about death, but it was the only tactic that seemed to work. Even the morons on the other end of the phone realise they can't talk to dead people.

Fastest way to make sure your name and number is removed from the database is to tell them you only rent there. No, you dont own the house, no, you dont know who does, but you are only tenant. They can not hang up fast enough
