I had an interesting one Friday. My normal strategy, which works reasonably well goes: "I would like your facility to never call this number again" which normally leads into "We're sorry to bother you, we'll put your number on our block list which usually takes 6-8 weeks" (bs, but ok whatever). I get maybe 1-2 calls per week this way.
Friday, the response was "I'm sorry sir, your phone number was randomly generated, and we don't have the capability to block it." "Yes you do. Write this number down and punch it into your random number generator/caller, and tell it to never dial it again" "I'm sorry sir I can't do that."
Aaaaaarrrrgggh!
"This is a cell phone" "This is a business"
Do those really work? I signed up for the national DNC but I have no faith in it. Gonna have to write a letter.
