You know what is disturbing? Every time I get a weird call from unknown or private or whatever, i can rely on this site to ALWAYS have a link to the number. Government trying to save us from ISIS and they can't do anything about a simple telco harassment problem.
Man called (normal American accent)...you could tell he was at a call center and he said my health insurance referred them to me for a free cancer screening. I started to say I wasn't interested but they hung up before I got a few words out.
Got one hangup call from this number. Called it, got a real person. Said I didn't care what they were selling, I just wanted off their list. He hung up. That irritated me, so I called back, got another real person. Told him what had just happened to me, repeated that I simply wanted off their list. He said I had to politely say please if I wanted off. That's when I told him what he could do to himself. Not my finest hour, but it was satisfying to get that said and hang up first.
I can relate to the action you took, but I have learned that it often leads to more calls. If I knew then what I know now, I would have ignored calls from unfamiliar numbers.
