I wrote one a while back that uses Cepstral TTS, but the mechanics are simple.

When a telemarketer calls, I say "hmmm, that sounds pretty good, can you hold 
for a sec?"

Telemarketer gets transferred to a context that plays a cepstral voice saying 
"You have just been added to our Do not call list.  Please add us to yours. 
Further attempts to contact us from your number are being recorded".  Then adds 
the CID to a SQLite database and simply hangs up.

The number is stored in a database at that point and if they call again they get 
Ceptral William saying "Sorry, you have been added to our do not call database. 
    "You have been asked previously to place us on your do not call list.  Each 
attempt to contact us by your number are being recorded and may be used in legal 
proceedings."  Hang up.

I've only had a couple actually call back.  One called back about 6 times and my 
guess was that he was showing co-workers/managers the implementation we put in 
place or just got a kick out of it.  I just shot off a letter to my Attorney 
General's office with the log and never heard from them again.
