Update on my telemarketing spam problem: I was getting a call every hour all day long during business hours, for the past 2 weeks. I got it to stop! How?
I turned off Google Phone Screening, and then when a call came in, I spoke to them in Korean! Over and over, no English. Of course, I only know a handful of phrases, but that was enough.
Just like that, the telemarketing stopped.
