The companies that call you are scum. The people who call you are making $9.75/hr, making 300-500 calls per shift, trying to feed their babies while staying off welfare. I say “no” politely and hang up.

You make a very good point. But folks who cold-call fall into two groups. The first group is trying to sell something legitimate. As you noted, they are just trying to make a living. I too am polite to them as I quickly hang up.

But there is a second group. these folks are not selling something legitimate. They are soliciting for fake charities or trying to scam you out of your credit card number. Those folks are filthy criminals.

Very often a recipient of a cold-call with treat the first group as if they belonged to the second group. That's unfortunate, but it's very understandable.
