"legally binding" magic words to say to telemarketers are: "Please take =
me off
your call list." Make sure you make a note of who the caller represents =
before
you say these words because more often than not they will end the call
themselves right then. The reason for making note of who the caller =
represents
is that if they call you again you then have legal precedence to sue. =
And win.
And they know it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
