Actually the point I am trying to make is that you are actually wasting your own time, the telemarketers are getting paid to listen to your hold music or your toilet flushing or whatever.If you succeed in amusing them then you just make it easier for them to get through their day. And if you succeed in pissing them off then just like the burger flipper spitting in your food at the fast food place they may just find a way to get back at you.
The Verizon phone you listed has been out of service for over a year, go ahead and call them. The physical location you listed has been vacant for almost as long. (No phone # portability here, hence the phone being disconnected.)Go ahead and ask my mobile phone provider to cut my service off, they are going to ask that you pay the bill first, and then show up at their office in person with two pieces of photo ID. Oh, and that number is not registered in my name, I am sure you can find out who it belongs to but good luck coming up with photo ID in that person's name. That person knows the folks at Orange pretty well so they'll be surprised if you showed up claiming to be them. (Hope your Spanish is good)And lastly the business name you listed is just a token website, there is no legal entity established under that name in any country. I put that website up in 5 minutes for a potential client who wanted to see that I had a website. We are not doing business with that person but since I paid for 2 years of hosting the site is still up temporarily.Congrats on being the 1 millionth person to take that exact swipe at my online handle, I am sure that you are many things but original is not one of them.
@pompousjohn: lol i'd laugh if you got caught doing something like that. Friend of mine was getting harassed by a telemarketer because he kept on winding him up - in the end he got fed up and took legal action. That telemarketer wasn't too well off afterwards. By winding telemarketers up, you're not doing anything wrong, but if they use your contact details for illegal purposes? We can have a laugh by winding you up - but you can't legally get back at us!Come on, just accept the fact that nobody likes telemarketing and you're just being a complete idiot.
"I am pretty sure impersonating an officer of the law is illegal."Only in public I thought? Real or not though, this was still funny, no 2 ways about it.

Oops, I guess the fax number is still in service, but it's no longer mine.
