I cut down the number of telemarketing calls when I filed with the
Direct Marketing Association to get on their "does not want to get
solicitation calls" list.

When someone calls anyhow, I get to say,
  
  "I've filed with the DMA.  If you were a reputable telemarketer, 
   you would not be calling me.  So clearly I should not do business 
   with you, right?~

DMA also has a list for junk mail.
