If your reading this, first and last there is no hope to stop them, I have ignored, hung up, been nice, nasty, reasoned to no avail, they are like cockroach's never to stop as soon as there is a lull or a break "steve" will call and the hole cycle starts over, so now here's what works for me, I let them introduce themselves and make friendly short conversation and then I insult their Mother, country, religion and state that they send me Viagra c.o.d. so I can masterbait on their daughters Burka. It just make me feel better, it took a couple of times to get comfortable but it is the closest way to redemption and as an added bonus when you master this technique is never hang up never!! Good luck my friends
