Not only just say "no" but if you be really nasty about it, they might just get the message. A while back, I got such a call and was nasty about it and haven't gotten another one since.

My stepson admits to torrenting music, books, and movies, and has been suspicious that we are being hacked. My wife and I sense that these calls are suspicious, and wonder what you-all think about this.
