Phone calls:
Them: Hi, this is Linda from Crap Cable.
You: Linda, hey, I didn't know you'd changed jobs.
Them: What?
You: Yes, you used to work for the pharmacy, then, when you lost your license, you had to find something else. How is this working out?
Them: This is Linda from Crap Cable, I don't think I know you.
You: Of course you know me. I used to see you at least once a month to get my prescriptions filled.
Them: I don't think so.
You: Well, maybe you forgot, you were self medicating…
Them: I was NOT self-medicating. I work for Crap Cable.
You: Look, it is OK. Just get some help, all right?
Them: Ah…
You: I need to go, but I'll put in a call to the hotline.

Door to door method:
Someone knocks at the door, you open, there's someone there selling magazines, siding, driveway repair, who knows what.
You: Ah, I've been waiting for you!
Them: What?
You: Things have been tough. You've come to repay the $10,000 you borrowed, right?
Them: No, I'm here to tell you about the Mormons.
You: We can deal with that later. I need my $10,000.
Them: I don't know what you're talking about.
You: Well, you won't hustle me again. Pay or leave. Hell, maybe I should call the police.
(off they go)
Some door to door people put a subtle mark by your house indicating that you are a nut, time waster, whatever. It is an old hobo code.
The telesales people pay for a database, it has time wasters, etc. You WANT to be on these lists.
