Had something like 4 or 5 phone calls from the same agency over a period of 4 working days asking if I am available for work. On each occasion I tell them I am working and not available for something like 3 months. When will they take the hint that I am not available until my current contract is over?

they're just phoning a list of numbers and reading from a card.
you could answer in a different language and they would'nt flinch.
They'd still say... "so what's your rate?", "who was your last manager at yourclient"
