Interface Talent, aka those scammers that approached you and your kid at the mall. They've called my cell + home #, which I was dumb enough to provide, every day, at least 2x a day, since we skipped their little scam orientation 2 weeks ago. At one point I politely asked to be removed from their system, was told I would be, and then the call volume intensified.
So now I just pick up the phone whenever they call and let them listen to silence, or music, or TV, or background noise until they just hang up. I love letting them listen to things that remind them how much it sucks that they're stuck in a cubicle harassing people over the phone. Like a good sports game on TV, a lively bar/restaurant (yup, they called at 10:14pm the other night), the sound of kids playing at the park (yup, they call on weekends), some good music, etc. It's like they say: If you can't beat 'em, remind 'em how much their job sucks.
