Comment Re:Too many exceptions in the US (Score 1) 252
This is exactly how to handle the few calls that slip through. The US national do not call list works and the individual state do not call lists work. I am on both. They cut my calls drastically. When I do receive calls I follow this script nearly to the T. I add that I will be contacting my state legal offices as well as federal. I don't get any repeat calls.
Start talking about the law or even just sound knowledgeable and they don't want to talk to you. They want easy sales - don't be an easy sale. A hang-up, air-horn, being rude, etc.. simply don't work. Your number will stay in their database and some other "phone-cube nube" will call you, in a week, month, sometime. Take the time to talk to them and make them remove your number.
