Good start. However, assuming it's convenient, talk to them. Let them go through their script. Ask questions. Act interested, but non-committal. Take up their time. Remember, every minute they talk to you, they aren't making a sale. I've kept them on the line for 20-30 minutes. If just 15 other people did that every day, it would effectively take out a live sales person. Just 30 people can disable 2 live sales people. And that translates to real money. That comes out of profit. And out of the thousands of calls they make every day, it doesn't take a huge percentage of people to play along.
The telemarketers know it's a numbers game, and hanging up benefits their numbers. Make the numbers work for us. Take up their time. Every opportunity you get. Kill the profit, and you kill telemarketing. DNC lists and reporting them haven't worked well. But if enough people do this, talking to them will hurt them more than anything else.
Probably another scamer trying to make money of the affordable healthcare act. Try to make it look legitimate but wants to use their own "licensed agents" to do the business. If you already deal with one of the companies they list, you already have an agent who will work with you so their "agents" are not needed.
caller id says affordable health care, i don't answer. or sometimes i answer and say nothing so their computer disconnects me. Hey can we robo call them? sometimes I answer my city's name and say police dept. just to mess with them.
my number is one digit off the VA's here so maybe I'll start answering that, or repeat everything the person says to me.
Just to f--k with them. whenever I don't know the caller id person/number i don't answer, if they want to talk to me they will leave a message.
