There is also another one, that I also use with telemarketers:
I say: Yes, I am very interested on this, please don't hang up while I go get my (whatever I make up at the moment) Then lay the phone somewhere, go on with my day and hang it up some 30 minutes later... :) ET

It was some Friday last year when someone called me at home, in the evening
approx
6pm. A guy I could easily understand despite the strange accent asked me,
in a very
authoritative voice, for the numbers of all (he repeated, ALL) my credit
cards.
I responded: "of course, yes, whatever you like, but please let me connect
you first with
me brother, he works for the FBI and". I had hardly spoken out the last
word, "and", when
he hung up. Nobody ever bothered me again. Before that evening they
bothered me very
often.

I just got a phone call on my cell phone from 2347040921200 (Pankshin,
Nigeria) from someone I could barely understand. Basically, he had a package
waiting for me, and if I would please give him my email address he would
send me all the details for getting my package. Since I don't know anyone in
Pankshin, Nigeria, I just hung up. He even called back!
Wow, these guys are getting pretty aggressive. Is there anyone I can/should
report this to? Mark -----Inline Attachment Follows-----
