Do what I do to telemarketers...say you want to think about it for a bit...then ask them for their home telephone number...they usually are caught off guard and say something like "excuse me? did you say my home number?" then you say " yeah...I'll think about it and then I will call you at home when you are trying to eat dinner or trying to get things done...or better yet, when you are in bed trying to get some sleep."
Usually you will get several seconds of silence, and then an apology for bothering you.
