To OhioCop ~ If you think these [***] only call homeowners, I've got a real shocker for you.  I finally pushed '1' on my phone a few minutes to talk  to a rep, since pushing '2' to remove my number from their list doesn't work.  I got a guy, so I immediately told him that #1:  Do not hang up on me until I'm done and #2 ~ I do not own a home, I rent a small apartment and therefore have no yard to put a sign in!  He didn't know what to say but he did hang up as I was telling him to honor my previous requests to not call me.  Wonder how long it'll last?  Btw, this call was from Washington state; I live in middle Tennessee.  If I wanted a security system, I'd call somebody local.

I have time to waste right now, so I'm posting this. I received a call today from 425-390-8920 with a recorded message about GE alarm systems, so I pressed 1 to speak to the rep, & when she came on the line, I said
" Honey, I'm so glad you called, I've been trying to find somebody to come here & suck my ****. Would YOU like to come here & suck my ****?"
She said" Sir, you have a heavy accent & I can't understand you. This is America & we speak English here."
I said " My **** doesn't care about accents, you're most welcome to come here & do the job". She hung up.
With these kinds of telemarketing calls, I see the caller number displayed on my TV set & decide whether I'm in the mood to receive the caller & insult them ( this was NOT a threat, but an invitation), or I could just allow the call to pass over the line, then go back & delete it. In other words, are you annoyed, or are you in the mood at the moment to convert this telemarketing call into a chance for FUN & vengeance without making any personal threats which are illegal.

I recommend a cheap application called "Call Control" to block these calls. For eight bucks you get all incoming calls screened against a database maintained by the Call Control community. You also have the ability to block specific numbers or whole series of numbers.

If the marketers use a new number that isn't on my blacklist and not in the national data base, I get one call. After I hang up, it's very simnple to [***] that number to my blacklist tool

I'm not here to sell anything... just a satisfied user. I recommend you google the program and see for yourself. Oh.. they do have a free version.  Once you see how it works, the eight dollars will seem like a real bargain.

these people wont leave a message and when i call back,i get a recorded msg sayin the # is not in service.
ido agree what everyone is sayin.............................THEY DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Received call from 425-390-8920 on 31-DEC-2012 at 1419 and again on 2-JAN-2013 at 1342. I did not answer. Caught a very short message each time, something about leaving a small sign.
