Put Me On Your Do Not Call List
This exact phrase “Put Me On Your Do Not Call List” is the most important phrase in your arsenal against telemarketers. Federal law requires that telemarketers keep a list of people who have requested to not be called, and using this simple phrase gives you a legal right for them to stop calling.
If you want to get serious with them, though I recommend always being polite, you can also request that they share your “Do Not Call” request with all of their associates, affiliates and related entities. You can also ask them to send you a copy of their “Do Not Call Policy” and advise them of your legal rights.
Most companies will not have a problem wit your request to be taken off the call list and if you are consistent about your request then over time the telemarketing burden will lighten significantly.
