I get many such calls or rather I used to until I started to do this:
It goes something like this
Me “Hello”
They “Can I speak to Mr Buckley?”
Me “Who’s speaking?” That’s to get them to say what they are selling without actually admitting that they are speaking to the person they asked for.
They “Blah, blah, blah etc”
Me now sounding like an automated responder. “If you press one you will hear a polite refusal. I you press two you will get a very rude refusal. You have pressed two” and I let rip with some of the choicest language I can think of.

I don’t get many calls these days. Do you think that it’s something I said?
