Just this week we had the telemarketer from HELL. This guy calls with a heavy accent asking if we received our updates for Windows 7. I say I'm not interested. He then asks us how many computers in my house use Window 7. I then say I'm not interested and take me off your call list. I'm from Canada and am registered on the do not call list.
It was a weird connection as I heard an echo on the line every time I spoke. He then proceeded to call seven more times in the next few minutes. Each time I would say hello and hear my echo and he wouldn't answer. I'd hang up and he'd call right back. After the seventh call my wife answered. He then spoke up with the same speech about Windows 7. My wife asked calmly (as I was yelling into the phone a few times to stop harassing us) why he was repeatedly calling us. He told her if I just politely told him why I wasn't interested in getting free updates for Windows 7 he would stop calling. She politely told him (seriously - she was calm while I was flipping out) that we're not interested in doing any business on the phone and to not call anymore and then hung up. He then called us about a dozen more times doing that no talking thing. We called our phone company and got the number blocked.
First time we ever had a nut job harass us like that. It was really frustrating.
