Play telemarketers at their own game. When you are called by a telemarketer, the person on the other end of the line is working to a script. It's only fair if you are, too...
This post was deleted for the following reason:
I find the following 'script' can work quite well, providing you realise it's a telemarketer, as it can derail *their* script at the beginning.
Phone rings. I pick up. 2 or 3 seconds of silence. Person on other end picks up, and I can hear conversation i n background.
Person with out-of-state accent: May I speak with X?
Me: No.
Silence.
