It often works with somewhat honest but maybe misleading telemarketers.
Have you tried it and did it reduce your number of unwanted calls?
It doesn’t stop the unscrupulous. By the way, they are also supposed to say their name, and the name of the business clearly and immediately, which they usually don’t.

I’ve gotten to telling the people, very nicely, if they realize they are breaking the law and that I am reporting them to the FTC. And I do it. That goes for the text scammers, too. I must say my scam calls have gone down considerably.
