Tell them what has been happening and demand to speak to a manager or whoever may be in charge. When you speak to him demand your name be removed from their list and threaten to take action against them if you receive any further calls.
This'll probably be the next thing I do if they call again. Either that or screw with them

Also what I like to do to these sort of people is say "Yes give me two seconds and I will speak to you about this." Then I leave the phone off the hook with them waiting, and go and do something, watch tv, play a game, whatever it may be.
Trust me they stay on the line waiting for ages, sometimes over half an hour!
This is probably something I'd rather not do; jacking up my phone bill for the sake of messing with them is not really worth it.

Screw around with Bell, that's all they deserve.
Google always solves the problem!

I've personally done these:
-Everytime they call, I tell them that they have the wrong person and that there's no [my name] living here. Eventually they stopped calling.
- I listened to their offer and sounded very serious about buying the product/service, and kept asking so many questions I could think of. After the telemarketer sounded pissed, I politely declined the offer and hung up.
-(my favorite) I tried to sell them a product/service the same way they did to me, lol.
Also, note, if you haven't subscribed to
