The fine, payable to the victim, is $100 per call, but it's difficult to catch the slime mold.
You could also introduce the tele-slime to your handy canned air horn -- or a screeching 2 yr old....

I've told a telemarketer who was calling (asking for a female person who I had no clue who she was) that she would be right with him and to just hang on for a moment while she came to the phone. I sat the phone down, and went back to watching tv, 10 minutes later I picked the phone back up thinking he'd hung up and listened in because there was no annoying beep beep beep and heard the telemarketer say to his co-worker.. "Man, this chick is taking FOrever!" I hung up and he promptly called back at which point I said that she was no longer with us.
I can't believe some of these responses. I just say "not interested" and then hand up.
It's important to remember that the person calling you is just doing their job, and if they had the ability to find a better one they probably would. No sense punishing the caller, when it's really the company at fault.

Many are handicapped is this is one of the few jobs they can do. Blowing a horn in their ear or putting them on hold shows a total lack of maturity and is mean spirited.

While blowing a horn in their ear might be mean, I don't feel putting them on hold is. They are wasting my time and interrupting me during my supper meal. Putting them on hold isn't mean to the person who called me (they get paid regardless), but the company they are calling for suffers slightly. I think you should refrain from calling people names on a message board as I feel that is mean spirited and very immature.
