Strangely enough, it is best to not answer a call that you suspect. Even the act of answering the call lets them know that it is a valid phone number that they can sell.
Getting rude to them assures taht they will sell your number (-:
NEVER press 1, all you do is validate they they have reached a working phone number and they sell these numbers to marketing services. They don;t even have to be offering a product or most times what they offer is a fake.
They wanted to have me switch my electric company. I asked them to put me on there do not call list, which they said they would. I asked who they got my number from and they would not say. their company name was "gas and electric company". They said this was approved program from my Electric Company, But I doubt that.

A medieval style punishment will teach them not to mess with people but the problem is these freaks are in hiding. Remove each fingers for each fake calls. So if they call 5 people today, remove 5 fingers. If they call another 5 people tomorrow, remove another 5. The only thing left would be their legs. Remove that as well. Problem solved. They should be dealt with in a manner that is beyond rude.
