I Always Rick Roll Telemarketers

I used to spend a lot of time reporting telemarketers to the FCC. Now I just Rick Roll them.
I've always hated telemarketers, and it seems that in spite of the "Do Not Call" list, there are even more telemarketers than ever, and most of them are complete frauds.
The main reason for the increase in calls is the widespread use of VOIP / Internet calling, which means that you can now call anywhere in the world for free, and that also means that overseas telemarketers don't have to answer to the FCC. Once I realized reporting callers to the FCC wasn't getting anywhere, I decided to at least have some fun and that's when I decided to Rick Roll just about every telemarketer that calls me.
To make it as easy as possible, I keep Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up in a voice recorder App just ready to play the moment they start speaking. It may or may not be as effective as reporting them to the FCC, but it's definitely a lot more fun.
If you've never heard of Rick Rolling, just do a quick search on Google or YouTube. It's where you find some way to play Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" when you least expect it.
If enough people started Rick Rolling telemarketers, who knows? Maybe they'll give me up.
