I am so sick of telephone solicitors calling my house asking for me or or my wife and saying they are "personal name" when really they represent a commercial company. When its for my lady I actually have to ask, "On behalf of...." to drag it out of them.

Some people refuse to say, some hang up, and the phone company has given them unlisted numbers and say they cannot trace these people.

I think it would be appropriate to have a list of questions telemarketers must answer truthfully before they can ask their own questions, they called me after all.

Nature of Call: Need something to inspire honesty.

I hate screening calls for anyone because I feel like I'm intruding on their privacy but my wife is all for me making it difficult for these vultures.

Just to get some outside validation for this, what sort of questions would you add to the list, to weed out the crooks and make the phone call non productive?
