I have better things to do with my time. I simply say I don't take cold

Agreed, but then they often ring back.

I prefer to put on an "official" voice and quickly say "Password please"
and/or "You shouldn't be calling here and a note has been made of your

Works for me and I'm seldom recalled. Makes me I feel better too :-)
