Stop Telemaketers (http://caag.state.ca.us/donotcall/)
This is a new law that will stop these guys from calling if you register your numbers at web site.

Try it Yeah, but this is free and once you register and it takes effect in October those calls will stop completly, the fine to them is huge. This was a law passed by Federal Gov.

I signed up last year on the same deal here in Indiana, result - NO more calls! To say that it was well worth it would be an understatement.

I enjoy messing with the callers, sometimes they even get a laugh out of it. Cheap Humor.
It helps to have caller ID and a cordless phone, so you can start right when you pick up the phone.

My wife like to do that: Tells them to hold on and sets the phone down.
I had one guy hold for 15 minutes, I told him the person he was calling (me) was on the toilet. He said he would wait :confused: so I came back every minute or so and would update him on the progress :p he held longer than anybody :D
The kids were busting up

Here in Pennsylvania, there was a law passed that prohibited telemarketers from calling if your name was on a list. A few companies are being sued by the state for their inability to follow the rules, but that list works. No more calls.
