Great stuff........try blowing a police whistle down the phone at them. As they wear headsets it tends to annoy them somewhat.
I hate these phone parasites its tantermount to invasion of privacy IMHO.

I don't think it qualifies as assault. In any case they rarely ring back.

10 Ways to Terrorise a Cold Calling Telesales person !!!!!!
10. When they ask "How are you today?" Tell them! "I'm so glad you asked because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems; my arthritis is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died."
9. If theysay they're John Smith from XYZ Company, ask them to spell their name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is located. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary.
8. Cry out in surprise, "Judy! Is that you? Oh my God! Judy, how have you been?" Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of pause as she tries to figure out where the hell she could know you from.
7. If BT calls trying to get you to sign up for the Family and Friends plan, reply, in as SINISTER a voice as you can, "I don't have any friends... would you be my friend?"
6. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just
filed for bankruptcy and you could sure use some money.
5. Tell the telesales you are on "home arrest" and ask if they could bringyou a case of beer and some chips.
4. After the telesales gives their spiel, ask him/her to marry you. When they get all flustered, tell them that you could not just give your credit card number to a complete stranger.
3. Tell the telesales you are busy at the moment and ask them if they will give you their HOME phone number so you
can call them back. When the telesales explains that they cannot give out their HOME number, you say "I guess you don't want anyone bothering you at home, right?" The telesales will agree and you say, "Now you know how I feel!"
2. Insist that the caller is really your buddy Fred, playing a joke. "Come on Fred, cut it out! Seriously, Fred, how's your mum?" And first and foremost:
1. Tell them to talk VERY SLOWLY, because you want to write EVERY WORD down.

LMAO @ those 10
For my sins, i did telesales for a while
And those 10 would certainly have freaked me out!!!
I remember once getting a foul mouthed woman going to town on me, and revenge being my best weapon.
I rang her @ 4am everyday for a week
It didnt achieve anything but it made me feel a whole lot better

good work monkeh- I'll be sure to try some of those.
Another one that works is to tell them that all calls to your number are recorded. They don't like that.
