National "Do Not Call" List abuser

Similar to the infamous "reverse identity theft" strategy that a dishonest/selfish person uses in an attempt to avoid responsibility/prosecution for a crime that he did indeed commit, this type of sleazeball irrelevantly mentions the National "Do Not Call" Registry anytime he wishes to avoid having to deal with business/complaints which the local authorities or other 100%-legitimate parties have phoned him about and are attempting to discuss with him.

A National "Do Not Call" List abuser pretends that he honestly believes that any caller whom he doesn't want to talk to (cops, angry neighbors/businessmen, bill/tax-collectors, etc.) is just a nameless telemarketer in disguise, and who is merely posing as the real authority-figure who actually **is** needing to discuss some urgent/serious matter with him. This "Excuse me, but I don't believe that you're really ___; I suspect that you're just claiming that in an attempt to sell me something or pressure me into listening to your long-winded/hard-sell sales-pitch. I am on the National 'Do Not Call' list; please remove my name from your mailing-list" strategy can often be surprisingly effective, especially since many telemarketers and crank-callers actually **do** falsely identify themselves as a wronged individual or authority-figure in an attempt to compel the person whom they call to listen to them and/or be upset/intimidated, and so it is indeed conceivable that someone might automatically suspect that the unwelcome caller was merely an impersonator, especially if the person answering the phone had supposedly been of innocent mind and therefore had not expected to be contacted by anyone in authority.
