Internet Yellow Pages Persistant Scammers!! Internet

These people call every week, they have sent me one $480.00 bill (that they threatened to sue me for) and they hang up every time I ask for a name. They want to record you saying "yes" then try to use this to strong arm you for payment.

I do enjoy playing word games with them, I make them WORK to get me to say yes, then I always give them a variant, such as "uh-huh, HOKAY!!, sure, kinda, ect. Then I get bored then I get mad and eventually they hang up.

But they will never stay on the line when you ask about their company.

And the number on my caller ID states it is disconnected when I call back to harrass them.

I have developed a love/hate relationship with the many many accented voices that call me at all hours of my business day. If i am busy it is in the Hate range of the meter. If I am bored and want to make there day bad, I play stupid guy for a while and then tell them all about my cat I love so much. Then I get into the "I just can not say 'yes' quite to their liking game" (to record me saying YES!).

I would love to be able to keep these people from tying up my phone and my employees---but then what do I do when I am bored?
