Actual call I just took:
Recorded voice: "This is an important message regarding your auto insurance. Press 1 if you'd like to..."
Me: *presses 1*
Him: "*click* Hello! Are you interested about the insurance offer?"
Me: "Yes!"
Him: "Greeeat! *types frantically on computer* Okay, what is..."
Me: "Can I, just, have your phone number please?"
Him: "770... Wait... You want MY phone number?"
Me: "Yes please."
Him: "1-800-436-7770"
Me: "Thanks. And can I have the name of your company?"
Him: "It's, uhh... service center."
Me: "*annoyed* No, not where you work, what's the name of the company you work for."
Him: "It's Service Center!"
Me: "Service Center?"
Him: "That's right. Service Center, Incorporated."
Me: "*chuckles* Incorporated... heh, I see. And what state are you incorporated in? Where are you located?"
Him: "Georgia. Atlanta, Georgia."
Me: "And can I have your name please?"
Him: "Uh... *CLICK*"
That's right, folks. I just made a telemarketer hang up on ME! By the way, if you call his 800 number, the message will say, "I'm sorry, you have dialed a number that cannot be reached from your calling area." Too bad. I hope they can call back so I can see not how fast I can get them to hang up on me, but how long I can keep them on the line!
