When they call I just say that I'm getting ready to commit suicide and could you call me back later it works every time they just say okay hahaha

What if they send the cops though?

i already thought of that... i would tell the cops that they wont stop calling and i would just ask the police to ask them to stop calling.

The trick to getting rid of robo telemarketer calls is to exploit a weakness in all IVR's; they can't handle silence. When a scam call comes in answer it with absolute silence. It will hang up within a few seconds and mark your number as being bad.
