I'm immune to this one...
I'm basically immune to this trick, as I have acquired BOFH-level treatment for telemarketers:
Caller: Hi, is this <unkown person>'s house?
Me: No. <SLAM>
Caller: Hi, is this (my name)
Me: Yes
Caller: Hi, we're calling from HSB.... <SLAM>
You can be as rude as you want to telemarketers as you like. I used to redirect my landline to my mobile, but after 5 days of cold calls, I decided to cease this practice. Good thing I can't get cold callers on my mobile :)
