I wonder why.
I see no reason not to take the initiative. Fair play to the guy

Other times I ask for details of the company informing them that they are in breach of regulations as I subscribe to TPS - that normally gets them putting the phone down quickly.
I also get a lot of calls asking 'can I speak to Mr X'. Do not know if this person had the number before.Sometimes I just say 'hang I will get him' and carry on doing whatever I was doing. The best is 'he died last week'. That really puts them off balance. They then try to show compassion and ask soothing questions. I simply play very upset and tell them 'sorry, I am so upset I cannot continue talking'.

The record shows that the pest callers give up at the first announcement without even trying to persuade the device to let them through. Money well spent for us.

I am also tempted to get one of these as seen in Dragons Den
