You usually have to trick them into it, by pretending to be interested in buying what they are selling.
The minimum you need is the company name they are calling from. The auto insurance places often will hang up when you ask that question, so you have to be clever how you present the question.
A website for the company is even better.
A phone number, if one is not provided on CallerID is also helpful.

- criddell 5y agoSpectrum calls me several times per week (and sometimes per day). When I've asked the person if they are Spectrum employees they usually won't give me any information. It makes me think they are just trying to get me to sign up for an affiliate or referral fee.
- habeebtc 5y agoI get the same from AT&T, when I am already an AT&T customer. I get the same sense, that it's just referrals they are after. Sometimes I get calls from purported cable ISP's claiming there's a software update needed, and after "performing" the update, they ask for payment via gift card. These are relatively rare calls.
- criddell 5y agoOh yeah - I get those as well. "We can cut your bill in half."
- noja 5y agoIs there a financial penalty for them doing this? Who do the proceeds go to?
