Participant[quote=tc]I get calls at home. I use to tell them that the person they are looking for is no longer at the number. But the idiots kept calling me. So now I take a message for the guy. Then after I have the callers name and number I call back and ask to speak to the person in charge. I then tell them if they call this number again from their company I’ll report them. Its worked wonders.
Most of the time they wont give you any information on who they are unless they think they might get in touch with whoever they are looking for. So taking a message is the best way to findout what company it is.[/quote]
That’s good. I had one of those calls and I told the lady that you have wrong number. She then asks my name and I said I’m calling the police. She’s bewildered and says why won’t I give my name. I want to say “Excuse me but what is your name”, but just mention police again and she hangs up and doesn’t call back!So you could try tell them the call is being recorded, traced and police have a tap because caller is threatening you but they will hang up first. But you could try this The Greatest Prank Call Ever

ParticipantAn unrelated story. It seems that ATT recycling gave one of my old phone numbers to a Chinese guy. That guy got himself a Vons club card and used that number in the application. At some point, I misplaced my own Vons card, so I tried to punch in my phone numbers and this one got accepted. I’ve been using that number since then.
When you use a Vons card, it prints your name on the check, cashiers often look it up and call you by that name. They still do that to me, occasionally. Even though I’m clearly Caucasian and I don’t look anything like Yu Chi Wu. Most of the time, they just get into the state of cognitive dissonance.
Once I even got a gasoline gift card from them, because the account of Mr. Wu earned enough points of some kind.
There’s only been one or two occasions in the last year that anyone has actually questioned whether I really was Mr. Wu …
