telemarketers

i know how annoying telemarketers are, but i'm really nice to them. i came across this blog that provides suggestions as to how to avoid them:

1.
"Sorry, can you call me back in 5 minutes? Im currently busy."
(after that you can proceed to turn off your hp... remember their hp number, so that if they call again after you switched on your hp, you can just ignore the call)

2.
Telemarketer: so erm, what's your age miss?
You: 18.Telemarketer: So you are stil a student ah?
You: Ya.
Telemarketer: *continues to ask personal questions, which are obviously a list of survey questions which he has to fill in.*
You: *answers*
Telemarketer: So are you free tomorrow?
You: No.
Telemarketer: Whole day?
You: Yeap.Telemarketer: How about the day after tomorrow?
You: also busy.
Telemarketer: Okay, we are open everyday for you.
You: Okay, call you up when im free again.
(of course, you dont call them again lar!)

3)
The owner of the blog's father came up with this suggestion:
Telemarketer: Hi, is this james tan?
You: This is Mr Goh, policemen from dhobyghaut police station. james tan was murdered this morning at XX forest, and we just found his dead body and his mobile phone. Why do you have his number? Are you in any way related to him? We now suspect that you are the murderer. What's your IC number? Come down to the police station for investigation at 2pm later.
Telemarketer: (most probably would have freaked out, hung up, and worry for the rest of the day)

4) The blog's owner's sister came up with this suggestion:
Telemarketer: Hi, im from YYY company..
You: Oh hi ! Im from XXX telemarketing company.... would you like to fill up some surveyyyyy....
Telemarketer: (will most probably hang up)

5) And lastly,
Telemarketer: Hi, im from YYY company...
You: No need to say anymore. I last time from that company.
Telemarketer: (if it's a scam company) Oh okay, bye.
