I'm often contacted by boiler rooms. Just had one today, something about carbon credits.
I like to take the piss out of them, before hanging up.
What suggestions do people have for dealing with such calls?

You can register your phone number on the do not call list...

I worked in a boiler room about twenty years ago and the younger guys would start prank calling anybody who "tried to take the piss out" of them as you say. They would even get the number of a local pizza place and have a pizza sent to them. You could be in for a battle, have fun.

Nah, i've had loads of boiler room calls, luv taking the mickey out of those pricks. Bunch of fooking conmen, preying on unsuspecting investors.
Wouldn't mind if they turned up at my office or home, my cricket bat could do with some use.
As for unsolicited deliveries of pizza, I don't think that works anymore.

Do what Seinfeld does. Tell him to give you his number and that you'll call him at home at around supper time.
