Please help, I'm losing my mind. [View all]

I get ten or more calls a day from companies who are trying to sell me health insurance, medicare supplemental, auto claims saying my car warranty needs these people to renew my warranty. I have never signed up for any of this. There are more that I can't remember.
How do I get rid of these calls. At first I was a calm and spoke to them like they were not the blood suckers they are. Now I am nothing but rude and angry because I use this phone for business and do not appreciate the harassment.

If you have found a way to stop them, please tell me the secret.

Thanks
