Is there any way to block telemarketers? I keep getting calls about an IRS lawsuit. How do I report them in BR?

Just give them all of your personal information and they'll leave you alone.

Do Not Call list is somewhat helpful. Screen calls of numbers you don't know, then just block the number.

One of these numbers a few years ago left a call back number that was a garage door place in Chicago.

Repeat everything they say back to them in a question form that sounds like you are just trying to understand what they want. Everything.

Heard a comedian do that, and he frustrated the hell out of the marketer

Telemarketers don't call about the IRS and you don't report the IRS to anyone.

express interest in whatever they are selling and politely get the callers full name and direct telephone number "in case we get cut off", then proceed to tell caller to take you off the call list or the next call you will make is to the state attorney generals office and your attorney to prosecute and sue for harassment, "click" will be the next sound you hear, don't have that problem any longer...

Have fun with them. It's a great feeling when they hang up on you. I just start singing...usually classic country like "Ring of Fire" and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." Stuff like that. If they sound like a Paki maybe a hymn or two would be good.

If you know the number don't answer. If you don't and you pick you and learn its them, just hang up.
