There's a pizza place in the nearby city that has almost the same number as mine, there's just one number difference. For the last few years I've been answering numbers I don't know as the pizza place. When they ask for me I act frustrated and say,
"look I'll tell you what I tell all the other telemarketers, you bought a bad list and got the number for a pizza place. "my name" doesn't work here, and never has. Now do me a favor and drop this number, I'm getting sick of giving this speech 10 times a day".
If they haven't hung up by that point, which they usually have, I say have a good day then hang up. I've noticed my spam calls have significantly dropped off after starting this, maybe it's coincidence and they're dropping my number because it's not generating income, but just in case it is working I'm going to keep doing it.
