Did you say. Don't call here again please _OR_ "Put me on your do not call list". There is a difference. If you say sternly and not as a question, they have to in the US (and they do so anyway in canada as well, not sure about other countries). They have 6 weeks to add you in the US which they can call you again, after that you can get large $$$ from them if they call again.

The thing is you can't say something like "could you please not call here again?" That is like a question, not a statement of putting you on their do not call list.

For those that say hanging up.. Well, I do know of one company that will call you as soon 6 hours later if you hangup, and if you continue to hangup, you will be added to the que again for redial. If you are going to hang up, say you are not intersted first, will put you in a several month recall que. Do not call list is the BEST, and normally gets you on several company lists since telemarketing is typically outsourced, and the companies that call, call for various merchants.
