What are the latest telemarketing workarounds(scams) out there?

Starrting Tuesday the 10th, I started recieving calls on my cell phone from 000-000-0000. On Wendsday I answered and heard lots of talking like in a crowded room and couldn%26#039;t get anyone to answer me. Wendsday evening I recieved another call from the same number. I answered and heard the same background noise but this time could talk to the person on the other side of the call. It was a telmarketer with a %26quot;free stuff%26quot; / credit card offer. I declined and told them to %26quot;take me off your list%26quot;(this is the exact phrase you need to say to telemarketers so if the want to keep legal status they must stop calling you for at least a year.)

This 0 #%26#039;s is new to me, it used to allways be %26quot;restricted%26quot; caller id from telemarketers.

So, here%26#039;s my question: what other new ways have telemarketers used on you so you would give them a response and not just ignore or block them?

Actually you have to say either %26quot;take me off your list%26quot; or %26quot;put me on your do not call list%26quot;. Also you should think about putting your phone numbers on the national do not call list, you can do this online https://www.donotcall.gov/register/Reg.a...

AS far as the 000-000-0000 goes it looks like it might be caller id spoofing http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/20...
