Another option:
One time my dad was phoned by a telemarketer from Quebec trying to sell, of all things, pens. Not just a few pens either,
900 pens. Now I don't know about you, but I have no use for 900 pens.
Anyways, my dad had some time to waste, so he strung the guy along for a long time, asking about this and that, pretending he was actually interested. Finally, about 45 minutes later, he says, "I don't need you damn pens" and hangs up.
Why is this a deterent? Well, as they were calling from Quebec, and we live in British Columbia, (a distance of about 2000 km) the long distance charges would be horrendous. That automatically put us on their do not call list. I guess they don't like spending lots of money on long distance for someone who was just going to jerk them around
