A trick to do on mail (USPS) spammers is take the prepaid mailing =
envelope they often include and tape it to a brick wrapped in brown =
paper and drop it off at the post office. They have to pay the shipping. =
If enough people do it, they go out of business.

In this case, do anything you can to waste his time and resources. Call =
up and act interested in his services and have them go through their =
sales pitch as many times as you can.  Ask for them to mail you =
literature. Have them write up proposals and quotes. Then when the last =
step left is to actually commit to their service tell them you were just =
pulling their chain, and why. If you eat up enough of their time they =
end up attending to too few real paying customers and they go out of =
business.
