He probably already had all that other stuff.
Last March, I was laying in bed in local hospital ER. Wife just left to take care of dogs, being there all night. The phone rings and I somehow manage to stress up to pick the phone thinking it was my wife. Guess what - telemarketer with a GREAT credit card rate !!
I used to either set the phone down or give them a very famous address to send stuff to me. I've pulled the "guy you are calling is dead" trick more than a few times too. The longer you keep them on the phone the more expensive it is for that company, time is money. But my time is worth a lot too, plus my patience is less as I get older with these oxygen thieves.
