telemarketers

[cellio]

Usually I just tell junk callers to go away (and put us on their no-call lists). We've been getting a lot of calls offering to refinance our mortgage lately, though, and I've found that the fastest way to get rid of them is to ask "can you beat 6 percent?". The folklore says that the telemarketers aren't allowed to hang up on you, but I've got a pile of experience to the contrary. :-)

"We just refinanced at 6%" works the best for us. That goes in your record more often then "Don't call me."
