I don't have much to add except a story or two
My mom was getting some sales calls from telemarketers......she just turned the table on them and tried to sell them something (generally her house as it was currently for sale anyway). Every time they would explain a feature she would counter with something great about the house (never the address)
When we were little she would put us kids on the phone (the calls were usually while she was making dinner and that was when my brother and I had to read aloud out of a bible story book). Mom would just hand us the phone and have us continue reading and ignore the caller.....they eventually hung up.
Now I only have a cell phone, and I have it set so that if a call comes through with a restriced number it doesn't even ring (I had to take that off since my dog ran away cuz I need to answer all calls) but it was good while it lasted.
Good luck, you could always just tell them that their account is in the negative...wouldn't help much but would probably make them have a crappy day too since they are ruining yours.
