> I had a summer job in a telemarketing sweatshop and I learned that you should be polite to telemarketers.
Well, polite and merciless. Anybody doing telemarketing today is a criminal, so they get zero mercy from me. My favorite approach is to let them stew for a bit and then ask, "Hey, does your family know you lie to people for money?" It almost never fails to get people upset. The truth: it stings.
Them putting me on the "call back again" list isn't a problem for me; it's an opportunity to make another parasite's day more difficult.
For the record, pretty much everybody who mentioned the topic at the FTC robocall summit believed that there is no such thing as an internal "do not call" list anymore.
