There is a law that states a telemarketer can call between 9 AM and 9 PM, not before or after.

You're sitting down at the table to eat dinner. All of a sudden the phone rings. It's another annoying telemarketer. What are you going to say to him or her? Will you say immediately, "No thank you," and hang up. Perhaps you...

You don't know me and I don't know you. But for some perfectly legitimate reason you wish to contact me. You try the phone, but I'm suspicious of a telemarketer or scam artist. I hang up.

How do you feel when a telemarketer calls? Do you grit your teeth? Do you hang up the phone immediately? Do you tell them to get lost? Do you listen to what they have to say and then tell them that you don't do business over...
