When they ask for your husband, just say "hold on, I'll go get him" or something similar and leave the caller waiting indefinitely. I've found that's the quickest way to keep telemarketers from calling back. Since they usually have a daily quota of calls or sales leads, they hate for their time to be wasted waiting for someone who may never actually pick up the phone.
Same scam, different phone number - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS scam magazine subscription ruse. See also phone #s 904-306-5793, 218-422-7318, 803-430-9553, 330-400-2173, 415-935-9137 - block them all and expect new ones to crop up.
I am a Discover magazine subscriber ... since Issue #1. I have been contacted by these scam companies on average 6x yearly. I NEVER give them information. I report each phone number to Discover and add it to my call block. Discover DOES NOT CALL SUBSCRIBERS - the scam companies will say "Yes, we know that, they give it to a 3rd party to do." Don't engage with them.
This most recent call after the caller said she was calling about my Discover subscription, I said "Oh thank you! You have just earned a place of honor on my Call Block, as Discover does NOT call subscribers!" She protested with the "Yes, they give to a 3rd party to do it" line and I hung up.
In the past, I have received this email response from Discover Magazine: "We apologize for the phone call that you received. We believe the call was made by a subscription agency as we never make outbound calls. We take these complaints very seriously and we do not condone any company making calls under false pretenses. As we identify these companies, who are not authorized to sell our magazines, we can take further action against them. Thank you for informing us of your difficulties with these calls. We have forwarded the information you've provided to our home office who compiles the information."
Same thing with TV guide. I'm going to record the conversation as I go along with the scam. Put it up on Youtube. Been calling me for years. They are basically trying to get CC#s for a bogus subscription renewal. Working out of Miami Florida I think.
Received a phone call from this company and when I would not answer after the first two hellos, the young lady said "are you through yet, jerk". Nice way to have your employees talk to people. Unfortunately being on the National Do Not Call list doesn't really mean you won't get these calls.
