I believe this practice is called, "cramming" (slamming is something else, I think). All they want you to say is, "Yes," and they count that as a confirmation to switch you. Many states are cracking down on this. You've definitely taken the right steps. I'd recommend keeping a close eye on your phone bill just in case it slipped through.

When I finally got him to admit where he was from and asked him on who's authority he had switched the phone service, he got rather angry with me and started verbally abusing me on the phone. Anyone who knows me knows that this sort of idiotic behavior is all the encouragement I need to really start messing with people. I've contacted the Wisconsin attorney general, the FCC, the better business bureau, and AT&T to let them know what these fools are up to. The next few days should be rather interesting >:)
