Asking them to "hold on while I get to my computer/look something up/etc" and muting the phone and setting it down is a good one. Costs them $$$$ or their phone lines get cut off.
On the RARE occasion I get caught with a telemarketer (ie: pick up the receiver when expecting a legit call, only to have a telemarketer on the line), I like to play along with them.
For "Jenny", I would have had all kinds of trouble downloading... multiple restarts... oops! a crash!!!... etc etc etc.

Grrr...
Dropped my VV box mod for the ump-teenth time. Cracked the top near the connector this time.
Lasted a year (It's a self-assemble kit from MV.). Was only $18.00 and most of that cost is the circuit board and parts (still salvageable). I'll check the local rat-shack for a new shell/box. Should only cost a few bucks. But will take me hours to swap out due to the epoxy.
Grrrrr.
I'd love to upgrade, but just can't justify the cash when I can do it myself and have the tools... $5.00 (or whatever they charge for a 3xAA box) is a lot less than a $50.00 + mod.
Sigh. Vaping on an old eGo PT right now (box mod still works too, but I need a spare PV while I rip the box apart).
Atty you shouldn't be looking a gift horse in the mouth
