The call trick also works in reverse. Shortly after the PRC started minting their Panda gold coins, I got a long distance call (MI to NM, and in those days, Ma Bell was still a regulated monopoly--that call's per minute rate was not low) from a broker offering to let me in on the ground floor of buying a supply of these wonderful, valuable collector's items for only a little above the face value of those coins.

He called just as I was sitting down to supper after painting my house, so I was in a bad mood (I hate painting houses). Rather than blowing him off and hanging up, though, I engaged him in conversation about the relative merits of gold bullion vs gold coins, the gold coins of other nations (including the US) as collector's items, the investing value of collector's item gold coins vs the value of simply buying bullion, where we thought the price of gold was going, and in which nation as its economy evolved, the value of gold vs silver, platinum, mines, other commodities in general (I even got him onto coal for a little bit). I kept him on the phone on his nickel (lots of them) for an hour. And at the end, when he asked if I were going to buy any Pandas, and I said no, hadn't he been listening, I could hear the phone slam down on his end.

I not only never heard from that company again, but for the next several months the number of cold calls coming in offering me any good deals was a good approximation of zero.

It costs them money and you can annoy the crap out of them.  I just
called and someone actually answered.  I told her to expect lots of
calls!
