Does that really seem to be the best solution to your problem? Will that even solve your problem?


Agreed. That would only lead to ...

"I got the phone number of some guy that continually keeps spamming my inbox. Is there a company I can submit their phone number to so that they get a barrage of telemarketers calling their phone?"


Just slip it into a post on some popular forums, I'm sure the bots will pick it up on their own.


If you're on the do not call list, you could just sue them. It's pretty much a guaranteed win unless you've done business with them recently.

On the other hand, you could ask them to remove you from their call list -- as far as I know, they're legally obligated to do so.


This won't work if they already have your cell phone, but in the future, get a GrandCentral number and only give that out, so you can always block someone if they get annoying.


I'm fairly certain you can list your cell number on the national do not call list.
