These telemarketing calls are really bad news. I don't think there's much you can effectively do, even when they are breaking the law.
If you do speak with a real person, tell them they are on a recorded line, and that if they hang up, they will be breaking the law.
I used to harrass telemarketers, using up their time, telling them that everyone hates telemarketers, "does your mother know you turned out to be a telemarketer?" etc. But I decided the satisfaction wasn't worth the risk of making a bad person pissed off at you.
