the best way to deal with these is the method i use which i believe was linked onto here a while ago from youtube

providing you have plenty of spare time to mess about with them... without ever telling the caller you're a cop (therefore never actually impersonating one, cos thats illegal), you tell the caller that they've just rang the scene of a serious crime

I did this recently, asking the person what business they have with the occupant of this house (me), how long they have known (me) the victim, and when they come up with the excuse that they pick numbers at random by going off postcode records I then said "but you asked for this person (me) by name so you must have personal dealings with them" then i asked them for their company details, asking where their head office is based and a personal contact number to contact this guy at his own home. he then put his superior on, and I asked him to put the first guy on as he'd asked for me personally

they hung up

In the case of cladding, double glazing etc.... tell them it's a council house.

Every one else, just put the phone on the side and go make a cuppa

i was sent a site to register to stop the calls but it doesnt cover mobile phones. i regard these as nuisance calls as i havent asked for there services. i put a note on my door, no junk mail, but they still come through the door.

The wife gets annoyed when I answer them as I keep them talking for as long as possible. If it's a financial mob I ask for characters 4 and 6 of the PIN number so I can confirm who is speaking to me, somehow that tends to wind them up. I've even offered to send them a form to complete to get a PIN number and password to enable them to speak to me in future but no takers.
