Cold caller: "Hola, soy Severiano de XXXX. Es Usted Sr XXXX?"

Me: "Sí, pero estoy un poco ocupado ahora mismo ... A ver, ¿me das tu teléfono particular, y te llamo cuando vuelvas pa tu casa? A qué hora estarás?"

Cold caller: " .... ", (nervous laugh)

Me: "¿Qué pasa? ¿No quieres darme tu teléfono particular? ¿Y eso? ¿Es que no te gusta que la gente desconocida te llame a tu casa para hablar del negocio? Bueno, yo tampoco"

Place receiver down.

I do not think being ex directory would make any difference.
When we had our phone line installed with a completely new number known only to us and telefonica, we started to get cold sales calls from day one.
As we only needed the line for our internet use, the phone was swiftly disconnected and binned.

One problem with Telefonica is that they do not leave a reasonable time gap between a number being given up and it being reallocated to a new customer. Thus cold callers may still call.

My number came with 'a problem caller.' The woman who had the number before me had it changed because of the offensive calls she was getting. I got the number the following day. Fortunately it was a personal thing for the previous line owner, so stopped when I got the line.
