Harass a telemarketer!
 
I'm tired of these idiots calling me, dial away!

(916)256-3068

Waste their time, screw them.

I reported this number to the do not call list, which my number is on. Makes no difference.

I dialed *67(916)256-3068 and got a recorded message about my call not going through. What are they selling?

Fake CID number. SOP for lots of tele-marketers. You can't call them back. Even legit firms use them sometimes IME.
Scumbags. I find satisfaction in wasting as much of their time with goofy questions whenever the mood strikes me.

Hmmm, that number is local to me.

Wonder if they will answer a call from another 916 number.

Tried it from a blocked phone. All I get is a fast busy.

This guy in the UK has it figured out. He set up a toll number that he gives out so when telemarketers call him, he makes money off their phone call.

Seems that according to the article, since Nov 2011 he has made 300 pounds. Not to shabby.

Telemarketers provide a useful community service. You get to take out all your frustrations on some one who cant get back at you. I like to vent a months venom on them when they ring. Tell them all your problems, explain how you are looking to kill some one, you all know the sort of stuff.
Just turn these anoying calls into something useful for you! ;)

I had one nice person calling my cell phone trying to sell me an vehicle warranty.

They stopped calling after I asked for a warranty on a Raleigh Sports 3 speed and started crying when they told me they didn't insure bicycles.

Oh yeah I definitely remember that scam. I got them when they said I was approaching 100,000 miles and I told them that I had just hit 275,000 the week before :D

I get a call about once per month from one of Rahm Emanuels political contributors calling for $$ for a parking ticket from the last century. I enjoy getting that call and wish it were weekly. My blood pressure has never been better.

I'm trying to imagine you faking tears. It ain't working :D.

Joke's on anyone who tries to "harass" or spend any amount of time trying to get back at any telemarketer...

Oh sure but it feels good! Anyone that indulges in alcohol, or cigarettes the joke is on them also. Me being one of them.

I guess if that's how you get your kicks :confused: knock yourself out.

Maybe you should try it. By the looks of your avitar it may do you some good.
PS Did your 300E sell yet, looks like a well cared for machine?
