I've done this in the past and use sergeant instead of harry. since moving here i use the landline as my fax line so all the bogus calls get a fax tone. friends and businesses we deal with have our cell phone numbers. i do check the numbers that called from time to time to see if any of the calls were legit, which they seldom are. the sheer volume of sales calls (unsolicited) amazes me.
