Need a nuke button for them. They have a gift of calling at the most inconvenient time. Anymore just let all calls go to voice mail unless know them.
Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

I let them all got to voice mail. Was told by guy I know used to work at phone company. If you pick up them calls. Then they know its an active number and trade it with other telemarketers. I know if it's a robo call if you pick up but don't say anything. Call will listen then hang up. They may even have some way of knowing if it's your voice mail. I've had short messages with no voice in the message? If I could nuke some of them callers I would. In past I have messed with some if I'm in a mood and they call more than once. I do believe I get less now that I screen everything.

Don't get but maybe two a week anymore. Never have answered the phone much unless I know the number. That's what the answering machine or voicemail is for.

Sometimes it's fun to ask them about the weather if you are extremely bored. I do that all the time, even when I call an 800 number! LOL I used to keep a sports horn by my land line and I'd give those slimeballs a good shot. I've had them so whizzed they'd call me AGAIN to rant, and I just gave them a 2nd dose. LOL

Been getting the "your car warrantee policy is expired", Thought that one disappeared 2 years ago, but it's baaack...lol It hasn’t disappeared here. If you hang up and call the number back immediately, most of the time they say the number has been disconnected.

I've posted this before , probably unpopular. But it works.
I change my phone number about every 2 years. I get on average about 1 spam call every two months. It goes straight to voicemail and is deleted. Royal PIA , but it works. Doesn't work well for established business lines and other phone set-ups , but for personal use it is applicable.
Don't call lists - do not work.
