There is a simple way to handle this. I use it all the time, even when I
get an unsolicited call at home. I answer the phone, figure out that I am
being scammed (in some way) and then lay the phone down, but don't hang it
up. Later, when the phone is going #@#$@$!$!@#$@!#$ or whatever it does, I
hang it up. This is my release. It is a polite way of telling those folks
who don't seem to get it to go _____ themselves. I get additional enjoyment
out of this routine because I am helping someone else (for a few minutes at
least) from getting this same call. I guess you could say I am doing my
civic duty. Sure, I might lose a call or so at work while the phone is tied
up, but the pleasure and enjoyment I get out of this far outweighs any
pleasure I could possibly get from talking to someone else. Finally, the
money that I save from not buying products from these ______k's pays for the
business I might lose in tying up our phone line.

Anyone else getting marketing calls from people at DAW? I thought this issue
was resolved a while back and they pledged to only call people who requested
being contacted that way. Have any of you found a reliable way to stop those
calls? (Am I allowed to bill them for my time!?)
