Carpet Cleaning telemarketers

So.. there's this Carpet Cleaning telemarketer that keep calling. I'm on the Do Not Call list, and have filed a few complaints. When I state as such to them, they hang up.

They just called again. I went ahead an made an appointment.. for Monday...
I want to see what company shows up.

Remember that Corpse I built for Halloween last year?
Well.. I'll have some free time this weekend. I plan on goo-ing it up with some KY jelly, thick flake blood... and a bloody sheet on the floor.

"Yeah.. I need the blood cleaned out from the carpet underneath. Will you help me move him?"

Poor guy showing up will have nothing to do with their advertisement tactics.

Will you actually have them clean the carpet or tell them to get lost after your joking.

Well, if they do show up, I'll probably tell him never to telemarket-call me again, and explain if firm terms that I AM on the Do-Not-Call list. Depends on the company, I guess...
They've hammered me about five times daily for the last week.

This is way too much work IMHO. I would just make appointments daily and continue to send them to my neighbor's house. You must have a neighbor you don't like?

I have this telemarketer that has been calling me 4 times a day for the last month. The message says that you can press 9 to be removed from the list . I press it every time. It never works. I pressed "1" to talk to an operator, and when I told him to kindly remove me from the fookin' list, and the guy on the phone told me what he likes to do to my mother that lives in the trailer park.
Makes me want to go find him.

Well I got these tips from Report Phone Number to CallerCenter.com to annoy telemarketers and it works fine, too.

I guess this boils down to one point: We hate telemarketers!
