The call trick also works in reverse.  Shortly after the PRC started 
minting their Panda gold coins, I got a long distance call (MI to NM, 
and in those days, Ma Bell was still a regulated monopoly--that call's 
per minute rate was not low) from a broker offering to let me in on the 
ground floor of buying a supply of these wonderful, valuable collector's 
items for only a little above the face value of those coins.

He called just as I was sitting down to supper after painting my house, 
so I was in a bad mood (I hate painting houses).  Rather than blowing 
him off and hanging up, though, I engaged him in conversation about the 
relative merits of gold bullion vs gold coins, the gold coins of other 
nations (including the US) as collector's items, the investing value of 
collector's item gold coins vs the value of simply buying bullion, where 
we thought the price of gold was going, and in which nation as its 
economy evolved, the value of gold vs silver, platinum, mines, other 
commodities in general (I even got him onto coal for a little bit).  I 
kept him on the phone on his nickel (lots of them) for an hour.  And at 
the end, when he asked if I were going to buy any Pandas, and I said no, 
hadn't he been listening, I could hear the phone slam down on his end.

I not only never heard from that company again, but for the next several 
months the number of cold calls coming in offering me any good deals was 
a good approximation of zero.
