They know better than to call me now.
This is what I have done:

1) Pretended to be deaf
2) Spoke in Japanese
3) Put the phone down next to the angle grinder then revved that up and cut a piece of steel.
4) Give the phone to my son and tell him Sonic the Hedgehog is on the phone...

This sounds like the MO of the guys that peddle Sharetrackin software. If it is, good luck.
The marketing company have a different name every few months and the software gets renamed every few years.

I've tried everything in this thread and none of it worked because the entire setup is of questionable legality to start with.
them yes.

They phone yesterday and today, I answered and put the phone on the table.

I normally mention that by law they need to have an opt out mechanism and ask them if they have one. They all answer yes. I then tell them that I want to be opted out and that I will contact my lawyer if they ever phone again.

This has always been surprisingly effective for me.

If they are actually willing to make a meeting, and send a human to that meeting, the most effective way to get blacklisted is to make meetings. But you never pitch up.

Their sales guy will quickly get pissed off.

In the case of the Sharetrackin software marketers (whatever they're called these days) the lady told me that each time I asked to be removed from the database, they did remove me but since they update their database weekly, it adds my details again. When I asked her where they get the database from, she became aggressive.
