Monetize Unwanted Inbound Telemarketing Calls?

Hey, so I'm getting 1,000s of unwanted calls from Telemarketers trying to sell everything from Debt Collections to Payday loans. I can direct this traffic to anywhere. How would you make money off these calls if you were in my position, because it's actually costing me money to filter them? Pay Per Call? CPA offers? Thoughts?

To explain further, I do call forwarding for my customers so I have a bunch of phone numbers that I own. They are calling my forwarding numbers that I use for customers. We've figured out how to block them to an extent, but it's still costing us money when they call and I'd like to forward those calls somewhere else where I can monetize off their attacks on me (or at least annoy the hell out of them so they eventually stop).

    Sounds like a pain, how about a redirect to your State Attorney Generals Complaint office?

    Good luck.

    PS. How about a REVENGE line, a guy pays to have these calls redirected to his EX's cell....ouch

      get a 1-900 number so if they want to connect with you they have to pay by the minute

    Monetizing telemarketers? These people are trying to sell you something, so not really sure if it's possible to monetize them? Who wants telemarketers calling them anyhow?

    Cool idea! Since the actual humans (when there are humans) are poor schleps getting paid very little, try to sell them some "Make Money Quick By Pushing Buttons" on the Internet type thing
