What I do when I get a harassing telemarketer is, listen quietly, let them run their entire shpiel, without interrupting them or saying a word, until they run out of breath, or until they come to their first question mark.  (This can take anywhere up to 5 minutes)

 Then I say in a thick Mexican accent, and a very discouraging tone of voice, simply

 !No!

  I hardly ever get any "second try" questions.
