About a year ago, I answered the work phone -- the first thing I heard was the "call is being recorded" beep, and then a woman dove straight into her script about how there were some issues with our acceptance of American Express credit cards.
We don't take AmEx. We quit taking them years ago because we were losing money on them.
Since the call was being recorded, I didn't want to risk saying anything. Just because I don't have the skills to edit an audio file to make it say something different doesn't mean it's impossible. I simply hung up and immediately contacted the main office.
(The kicker? They called AmEx, and the call really did come from them. It was a sales call trying to get us to sign up with AmEx, just with a dumb intro.)

Why?.. It will not be used against you, its not a court of law, so be rude, say you do not want to know, and hang up. Why do I advocate being rude?.. Everyone I know knows phoning me when I am eating is a bad idea.... I will just tell them call back in 10 please.
But sales pitches?, they know the best time to phone is 6pm, you will be in a hurry to eat, so they "Got you", THEY are being rude. I am rude right back at them...
