Take That Telemarketers!

Can't tell it to a machine. Bastards.

And my problem is that the companies calling are all business oriented services and have a business relationship with ----- the morons who have been giving out our phone number as their business number (to everyone, including banks, the state employment insurance people, other contractors with whom they work, etc...) for three years now. Their real number is off from ours by a digit, but they continue to give out the wrong number. It's even that way on their business application, so I finally called the state. And I've started calling the vendors and banks to let them know the company is a steaming pile of poo. But that doesn't help the telemarketing calls.
