You're lucky that they're polite enough to use the same caller ID # consistently. Mine sometimes call from nonexistent gibberish numbers like 035-146-3563, "unknown number", or something like 212-554-xxxx, where xxxx is a random string of digits that changes per call.

My other method of dealing with them is steadily making a low whistle into the phone till they hang up. Generally doesn't take more than 5-10 sec. No more than one lung-capacity, anyway...
