Yes, many of them are just working stiffs trying to make a living or too dang proud to get on public assistance or workers comp and giving it a go some other way. Yes, I was one, I was hurt in the mill many years ago and ruined my knees so I can't work like other people can. I have been told that I could probably get SSI, but I won't do that so I turned to telemarketing for awhile until I could figure out something else.
The easiest way to stop them is to do one of two things or both at the same time. First tell them no and just hang up (most telemarketers will disposition the call as a refusal) or say put me on your do not call list and then hang up.
The National Do Not Call list does stop most all telemarketing except for charitable organizations and political campaigns. Put your name on that list and most will stop. If someone does call after being put on the list, then contact the FCC and file a complaint they will investigate and take the appropiate action.
However, most companies that engage in telemarketing (such as credit card companies) have found a loophole in the NDCL, they moved to Canada and call the US from there.
