If its a landline(not a cellphone) you can just block all restricted callers...the phone call will not go through without revealing the number...just call your phone company to put call blocking on.

Sue them. Some stranger who has no connection to you is harassing you and you don't know what to do? Stop being stupid. Get the name of the company, the caller, their address (if possible) and their phone number and Tell them the next time they call that if they call and harass you one more time you will contact a lawyer and begin court proceedings. They're bullying you and you're falling for it. They can't do a thing to you. You own them NOTHING so what can they do to you? Threaten to call a lawyer and the calls will stop PRONTO. Simple.\n\n--\nto hiseasy... what a dumb fcuking plan. Give them your home phone number. Great, now you're establishing a history of contact and initiating a dialogue that could cause a judge to question whether you have a real connection with the person their seeking. And your 300K claim sounds like bullshyt.\n\nNip this in the bud NOW. They have called you, personally, repeteadly, harrassed and threatened you. That's grounds for a lawsuit right there. You don't need to give them your home phone number to prove this. Only an idiot would do that. Give them personal info about you... real fcuking smart.\n\n--\nOk, sorry I called you stupid. But avoiding a lawsuit may not be possible. You're tried telling them not to call, right? did it work? didn't think so. You have to at least THREATEN to file a lawsuit. They're harassing you at work and you own them nothing. It's no different than some stranger off the street bothering you everyday while you go for coffee! C'mon, don't be ... silly. Talking nice to them and pleading with them to stop hasn't worked and is unnecessary. What if it never ends? You came here looking for answers. That's mine. And I'm not the only one who thinks that protecting yourself through the courts is the answers.

call sumone and dont say anything for a while when the reciever's all "Hello? Hello? Anybody there?" Say "how many times are you gonna say that? Your tearing my ear drums!" Then the person will ask "who do you want to speak with? " OR "who are you?" if the question is who do u wana spek to, answer : you. if he asks who r u, say its none of ur business. then the man'll ask : say OR u just start speaking : your bloody dog, killed my bloody cat, on the bloody road next to ur bloody house. how dare u let tht happen, u bloody person?" or say "i can seeeeeeeee u. ur the fat baldy wearing the towel rite? ha-ha! boy are u looking funny! try losing some weight, fatso." the man will get angry and say "where are you calling from?" answer : from the sky, why? next thing u no, he/she's hung up!\n\nP.S. be sure the guy/gal duznt hav a caller i-d

It's terribly annoying how so many businesses have mastered the tactic of making cancellation of their services a nightmare.\n\nI get around their tactics by ALWAYS asking for a supervisor right away.  When the call center rep says that they'll be happy to help me, I respond that unless they want me to take out my frustrations on them, they should put a supervisor on the phone.  It works everytime!

Most phone companies have an option to block certain numbers, but it has a price.  I like caller ID.  If I don't recognize the number, I don't answer.

If you can find them then Maybe a call might work. They are just like spam email, they don't want you to find them. Try the 'Do not call' center and report them. Or you could try jamming their fax line by calling it repeatedly

Turn off your phone's id and call those $&@#*% back!

I deal with in two ways the first is I bought an illegal, (please don't call the police on me), cell phone jammer off of ebay, I bring to the movies and restraunts...usually wait til they get obnoxious and then turn it on.  Second I start using the same names and pharse they are using for example: I hear them say Susie was so drunk, I turn to my dinner partner and loudly proclaim about how  Susie was naked and dancing on the table last night.  Seems to get even the most obnoxious ones to tone it down.

before you give them a chance to say anything (assuming you have caller ID and know ahead of time that its someone you dont want to talk to) say "Hey is Johnathan there?" ...as if you were the one calling. when they reply say, "Oh ok, I'll try again later then."\nAnd hang up the phone\n\n--Monker

Start by telling the phone company about the issue.\nAnd then, get friends to call, etc.\nStart your own "grass roots" campaign to get them to use plain language!

You can visit the link above or call 1-888-382-1222.  You must call the toll free number FROM the number you wish to have removed from the telemarketer's call list.  After that, telemarketers have 31 days to comply. So, if you remove your name on July 1, you may still get marketing calls for the rest of the month... but they should stop after that.

Put your name on the "do not call" list - its at www.donotcall.gov  This should stop telemarketers from calling.  It takes a couple of days to get activated but it works.  And if the telemarketers do call you with your name on the list, they get fined!

Once you tell a bill collector to stop calling you they must you on a "Do-Not-Call" list. If they continue to call you just call the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and they should be able to help you out. Yeah I know I used to be a telemarketer.
