Default Crazy phone call

No-CLID calls here put the caller into a menu.

If you are a telemarketer, press 1
If you are conducting a survey, press 2
If we have won a holiday, press 3
For anything else, press 4

Real callers persist, the rest don't seem to. The ongoing response to
telemarketers (1) asks them (eventually, they have to listen to 'all
members of the household are currently assisting other telemarketers, you
are in a queue', etc...) to leave full contact details so I can report
them. And then I get emailed a .wav file of the whole conversation.

The phone never actually rings. And answers 2 and 3 get similar, but
customised, treatment.

I like the way your mind works.
