Not necessarily rudely, but if they are persistent and won't let me get a word in, I just put the phone down.<br /><br />Spam via email is simple, it gets marked as spam and reported as such.

Many are from charities, I just tell them I donate to charities that I choose, and don't need any new ones at the moment. <br /><br />But those who persist, get told that they'll be reported to the Neighbourhood Police team, who are having a crackdown on thieves cold calling on people.
