My "Never, ever, under any circumstances answer a call from an unknown number" approach with this particular phone number seems to still be holding.

I can confirm this to be true.

On a drunken whim, some buddies and I had a contest of who could send/record the most vile comeback to telemarketing calls. It of course backfired as we all get a ton more calls now. Or as one friend put it, we have created a very target rich environment. And of course we inevitably had the one call which was from a legit distant relative who ended up getting some midget snuff porn.

Good times.
