Doesn't work. You need to actually get a person on the line AND get them to acknowledge your request to "please remove me from your calling list" for it to be valid. If you hang up, you stay in their autodialer.

For this reason, a lot of telemarketers are going to autodialers with lengthy computerized messages/sales pitches so there's no way for you to "opt out" until you've heard the entire spiel.

The people that promulgate this crap are true scum. . . no better than internet spammers - just their choice of medium is different (and actually more of a "personal violation" than is an e-mail or text message).

Show me a business that does this kind of pushy, unsolicited advertising and I'll show you someone who needs a serious size 11 to the chin.
