Blow out their eardrums
The other comment about using a sports airhorn is cool. I think I will start to talk very softly and tell them that I am very interested in their product. When the have the phone volume turned up and pressed against their ear then let the horn rip! Hahahahhaha
I wonder who your research is for
It's interesting that you claim telemarketing can be a good thing, but can't provide any data as such. (Along with not providing proper grammar.) Some of us are concerned because we continue to be harassed at home by telephone marketers even after registering with the do not call list. When we moved to a new home the calls started, 10 and 15 times a day. At least 6 different numbers just trying to sell us a subscription to a paper. If you really know how "good" telemarketing is, I encourage you to educate everyone, with details and not simply your opinion.
When you get calls from
When you get calls from numbers like 4028842189 use an airhorn such as those used at a basketball game and they usually stop calling for several months.
To Anonymous (Go2hell): Shut up! You whiney b%#!h!.
If you can't figure out how to do research, then you shouldn't whine about it here, dumbass. Telemarketing is equivalent to spam. If you have no problem with telemarketing or spam then why don't you post you phone number and email here? You can enjoy all the unsolicited calls and email you want. Any calls and any spam you receive will be proberly targeted especially for you. The rest of the world does not want telemarketers calling nor spammers spamming. You say "Go 2 hell" but we're already there. You don't realize that being called all the time by scum-bag telemarketers is Hell. Properly targeted telemarketing? That's from the perspective of the telemarketer. The private individual does not want any telemarketing, properly targeted or otherwise.

I'm trying to do a research on telemarketing and all I can find is your "I wanna sue you all to make big money". Go to hell. Telemarketing, when properly targeted isn't a bad thing. On the contrary!
