Telemarketing is a legal way of doing business. It is no different than receiving unsolicited emails and snail mails and all htose hoarding you are forced to see all around. The choice is yours to be party or not. The person writing this article probalby did not have an interesting offer from the telemarketing seller. I see no point in mis-behaving with a telemarketer. You cannot simply act like dumping a post-mail in waste bin or punch the delete button. Ultimately it is a fellow human calling you s/he is doing a job. Why abuse a telemarketer. Ideally I would complain to the authorities if it is really bothering me and there are various ways. For sure I am not a telemarketer but have received many such calls. Lastly have you ever wondered why are you being called so many times with offers...!!!..it is your behaviour which has helped these marketing companies get to your most personal (unpublished) phone number(s).

One big difference between unsolicited mails and hoardings are that they are non-intrusive, most times. But telemarketing is very intrusive and disturbs your normal activity.
Out of every 100 calls they make, 99 would have been a disturbance and that would have got conveyed to them. But still they keep doing it. If someone cannot correct themselves after knowing they are doing nuisance, sometimes we will have to teach them the hard way without offending them.

Ramkumarji, I can well understand your concern however, I belive being polite is the best way. I am sure you must have been and belive me you will win. Have you ever wondered if one abuses it his/her BP to go up and some people simply enjoy this and they would make sure to call you and also ask their colleagues to call you....simply to harass you. Best = do not stoop low if you think these guys are doing so.
