I made the mistake several years ago.of subscribing to finance/technology magazines. I get an average of 2 cold calls per day as a result. Asking them to stop calling you doesn't work. The only thing I've found that succeeds is to tell obvious salespeople they have the wrong number. I really hate anyone that makes cold calls.

In my ye olde business days, I made the mistake of having my startup listed in a certain "yellow" directory here in the UK. As I used the same number for home and work (it was a low volume type business and YES I was stupid and I will never make that mistake again), I then got more businesses trying to sell me stuff then customers by a large margin. I lost track of the large number of people who asked for the "Webmaster" or person who owns the website. That was in 2001/2002 and way before Google.
