That guy is an evil genius. Not just the idea, but the execution was brilliant. There seems to be more crank calls in youtube, so I think I will check them out, but I don't think they will top that one.
kinda old, It's been(or a very similar version of it) has been circulating for at least a few yrs now.
I wouldn't try it myself, The charge of "Impersonatiing a Police officer" isint something that I'd be willing to risk.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. I guess it's OK because he didn't explicitly identify himself as a police officer from a specific jurisdiction; rather, he just came off sounding like one. It's a lot different on the phone, rather than wearing a uniform and pretending to be one.
For telemarketers, what I used to do was lead them on, like I was interested in buying. Then, leave the phone on the table, letting them go on with their spiel. At the crucial time, just before payment is about to be made, hang up.

I don't think that this strategy has had much impact on decreasing telemarketing.
The salesperson on the phone is usually paid by the hour and gets paid whether you ultimately buy something or not.
This salesperson is trained to end the call at about 10 minutes if you haven't bought anything by this time, so as not to waste the company's resources.
Personally, I just turn my phone off when I am not using it. Friends and family will leave a message, but telemarketers won't. My strategy won't work if you need to be immediately reachable by phone.
