Blow a whistle in their ear

Whistles are childish and ineffective?  Telemarketing companies who blatantly disregard "Do Not Call" lists are "childish".  Most (I didn't say all) of the employees whom work for these companies are "childish". Call me and we'll see just how ineffective you think the whistles are.  Call blockers are ineffective. I've had several telemarketing calls in the past year that appear to have originated from a local area code.  Google "spoofing" if you don't believe me.  Telemarketers are always a step ahead of call blockers, much like most scammers are one step ahead of every anti-virus software.

Whistles are childish and ineffective. Because the phone circuits and equipment simply are unable to transmit a high-pitched 120dBA audio blast to the other end. They are only designed to transmit normal volume and voice frequencies. Have you ever over-powered your stereo speakers or amplifier? Or tried to run your loud music through a tiny speaker? You know that garbled or clipped sound that isn't nearly as loud as your volume indicator thinks it should be? That's what happens.  You hear the full, unfiltered, deafening blast, they hear something much less through that little tiny speaker in their handset.  Telephones are simply not designed to transmit and reproduce the same audio fidelity that you'd like.

Believe me - if phone circuits could accurately replicate and transmit 120dBA whistle blasts into some poor saps headset, I'd be with you 100%. But they can't, they don't, so I'm not.

Just wondern' what do the temp, cold, rain, or snow have to do with you bein' on the do not call list?

Harley, I guess you think being snotty to people is effective, but it's a bit like blowing a whistle.  It may give you some sort of adolescent joy, but it does little else.  Guess what?  Some of us aren't in a position to ignore "all calls from unknown numbers" for various reasons that don't concern you, and call blockers are far from  universally applicable.  Get over yourself.

Have you ever heard of the kiss principle my friend? It's real simple, don't answer an unknown phone number and the phone call will dry up after a time, after all no answer, no scam, no money from you and they will go on to the next sucker they get on the phone. Oh by the way the kiss principle means- Keep It Simple Stupid, seems that it might need to be spelled out for your intellect!!!

You call it "snotty" where most others actually read the history of the thread and relate to Harley's frustration over advice given, but not listened to or accepted as just that, ADVICE.
Okay "AmK", you're so high and mighty and filled with education, what do you propose? What is your advice for these people who think blowing a whistle is a good and fun thing to do? Where is your brilliant advice or input on the subject matter besides coming on here and slamming someone who's attempting to give their own advice and at least putting forth the effort? Where's your input? Or did you just show up here to inject some abrasiveness without adding any substance to the conversation?
