As always I just tell them Im an auto parts store, an adult store, a lotion supplier. Or I act like I just moved to america and I dont speak english to well. I make it seem like I think they are asking to buy lotion from me. Its great.

Also, I did the COD thing and refused the shipment from one of the companies. I forget the company name but it was for a shipment of like 24 bottles of some goo called Capt'n Jack. I refused the shipment. Two days later they called me and asked how I liked the lotion. I told them I sent it back and they said, "No you didnt, the computer says you got it." I just laughed and hung up. They still call once in a while asking how I liked that goo and if I want more. Hilarious.

I never had to pay for anything doing that. I told them I felt trapped and cornered and that I felt I needed to order that lotion because the rep was so pushy and then when It came I didnt accept it since I never wanted it in the first place. Yeah, 500 bucks for 24 bottles of goo in august. Yeah....Once you start talking like that they dont say anything else. Although its not a perfect deterrent.
