- There are lots of cute things one can do to a telemarketer, but they
- may backfire if the telemarketer is a crook or a psycho.
-
- The best thing to do is to say "No thank you" politely but firmly.
- Otherwise, you are risking an abusive response or a series of hang-up calls.
- Yes, lots of telemarketers are honest, but enough of them are unpleasant
- that annoying them is unhealthy.
