Last year lot of us were getting harrassed by calls for taking loan from ABN Amro. Inspite of repeated request to take off our mobile nos, it did not work. Finall what worked is below
Next time we got a call, we asked if we could speak to someone senior as we wanted to open bulk accounts with ABN Amro for our associates. We got their Vice President (Sales) Telephone No in Delhi. Then my colleague called up his mobile no when he was busy in a meeting. When he said that he is busy in a meeting, my colleague replied there is something very urgent that he needs to speak about. So the VP quipped, tell me. Immediately My colleague started telling him about a wonderful software we have which does accountancy and 100 other things and we would be glad to sell it to ABN Amro for a big discount. Naturally the VP got very angry and shouted on the line ' Are you Crazy'. Immediately my friend replied that 'Yes I'm crazy. But this is what your people do to me when I am busy in middle of a meeting and I get a call for a loan'. I don't know what the VP did. But the menace of ABN Amro Telemarketing calls stopped

It wasn't smart but very smart. At least he got the taste of his own medicine.
