If they are hanging up, it may be a bit more difficult now, but a friend of mine makes a some decent "spending money" suing telemarkers.

There are regulations (federal?) that control what they can do and what they must do when you request being removed from their calling lists. If they don't comply it's something like a $750 fine per incident if I'm not mistaken (this may be regional).

He has quite a system. He asks to be removed, asks for the callers name and takes a picture of his caller ID if it's available. He then asks for them to send him a copy of their do-no-call policy and their address.

It sounds like a pain in the ass to me, but I think he does it for the love of confrontation more than anything.
