"I just called them every five minutes and let them know that, no, I don't have a crack in my windshield, because this seems to be something they are very concerned about," Plaisted said.

ROFL, yep, pretty easy to track down the owner of a business and get his home number. Of course tying up the business line for a few hours a day is effective too. Too bad most telemarketers are faceless entities outside the range of a local call because this is a great response for the local businesses.

But if you can get their toll-free #...rack up some charges on their end!

If you are on a state's do-not-call list and they call you isn't that a fineable offence?

I find if you just act crazy on the phone they tend to stop calling:

"Do you have a crack in your winshield sir?"

"What are you talking about...I am the one asking the questions here...did the cops send you"

What sir?"

"For the last time I did not kill him, he just slipped and fell into my tire tool its could have happened to anyone who slept with my sisters bestfriends cousin."

....Click they hang up.

Or something along the lines of...

them: "Do you have a crack in your windshield?"

you: "I'm so glad you called. I was just driving along, and this guy walked RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, and, well, I guess I kinda hit him, and now his body is sticking through my windshield, and I just don't know what to do.... I guess I'll have to get a new windshield....I hope it's not too expensive. I wonder if my insurance will cover it...Do you take insurance?"

them: "Uhhh....did you just say you have a body in your windshield?"

you: "Yes, this guy just walked in front of me and I couldn't stop and now he's stuck with his head and half of his body in my car, and there's blood all over the place... Do you guys do detailing too? 'Cause I think I'm going to have to get my car detailed now... there's blood all over the front seat, and scratches on the hood."

them: "<click>"

Normally, you cannot call the call agents themselves.

LMAO!

 

[Nocturnal]

Or you could say something like, "crack? Oh yeah I smoke it, I was wondering if you could help me find some... I need abount an ounce of it ASAP!"

 

[PowerMacG5]

Nice move. The telemarketers areound here are machines, and use private numbers. I can imagine if I had one of the numbers I'd be calling like that.

He didn't call the agents but he called the company that hired them.

When I was 3, my parents would hand the telemarketers over to me. Think about it. The parents get rid of the call and keep their toddler entertained at the same time!

I find that if you speak very quietly so they have to listen closely, then blast an air-horn into the phone, they tend not to repeat call you.
