it is against the law to cold call (in most circumstances), so absolutely no-one should be cold calling. I don't get any marketing calls as I registered on a site several years ago excluding my phone number. Never had a marketing call since

Our phone number is ex directory so we shouldn't be receiving any cold calls but we still get them.

I just tell them 'sorry I don't have time/not interested' and please remove my number from your system as it's ex directory.

Despite being registered with TPS I still get cold calls sometimes. While cold calls are really annoying I try not to take it out on the actual person calling. It's a rotten job, I wouldn't want to do it, but if I needed a job I would. I wouldn't want people being rude to me because I was trying to make a living.
