I finally said "Dead people can't order" and hung up on them. Usually I am not dude but I had had it! No calls since.
One year before my husband passed away he donated $5 to the Republican National Committee. I told him this was a big mistake but he did it anyway. After he passed away, I got several postcards from them wondering where the donations were. I sent the postcards back marked Deceased. Then, and this was before caller ID, one day they called me. I told them if they didn't stop "Harrassing" me on the phone and through the mail I was going to report them to the phone company for harrassment. The guy hung up in a hurry and I never got another phone call or postcard. So I found the word "Harrassment" works.
