Telemarketers are on an automatic dialer that dials a bunch of numbers at a time. When someone picks up, the dialer tries to determine if it is a person who answers or an answering machine, disconnected number, fax, and other non-human answering services. The first real person to get the phone gets patched through to the telemarketer (signalled to the telemarketer by an annoying "beep" in their ear). If there is no telemarketer to respond to your "hello" the dialer drops the call.

Just say, " I'm sorry, you have the wrong number. " If they persist , then say, " I really can't help you . Please call the operator for assistance. " and hang up. Some people will get insistent they DO have the right number, or you are lying, or some other crazy thing. Don't even engage in any conversation with them . Same goes for telemarketers. Just " No , thank you. " and hang up.
