Being a business man myself I get a lot of unsolicited phone calls. Thank God for Caller ID! Anyway, I came across this website;
http://whocalled.us/list/
all you do is put the telephone number in and it will provide some kind of information from other people who may have received the same call from the same number. So next time the phone rings you know not to answer it.
I got a call today from "CALL ASIA" at a 415 area code.....plugged in the number and found out who it was......try it out sometime!
Whos Calling YOU?

Sometimes I'll answer em... just to mess with them.
I'll act all interested like... and about a minute in.. I'll say..."Sorry, I have to get a pizza out of the oven....can you hold a sec?" ....wait 1 minute....let em talk for a minute or two ... and say... "Sorry I gotta cut the slices and feed to the kids, can you hold again? .....2 minutes later....usually they're gone, but if not...I'll let em speak, but chew something sloppily in their ear, slurp a soda/beer, burp, start saying things like, "I don't think that bacon was cooked all the way" ..."I don't feel so good" ... "Keep talking dude, the phone will reach to the bathroom, ..Sorry, I ain't feeling right" ....then...

I saw that site awhile back. I bookmarked it. We get alot of calls because my wife has to enter those stupid contest every time she sees a table set up somewhere...
As far as the calls, IF I do answer them, I like to politely tell them a time or two that I'm not interested. When they keep talking and trying to sell, I will ask a question or two, acting interested. Then I will quietly set the phone down and just let em talk.
I had one go on for a long time until he realized that I wasn't there. I did something that took me about 1 minute and then checked. He was still talking away. Then I used the bathroom, washed my hands and checked again. He had just hung up as I picked the phone up.
