Is there any way visitor IP addresses can be gleaned from GA?

i'm afraid the answer is no, although you can block ips using regex, but that's not what was asked

Very useful for me, as I get all the charity scammers, all the PPC resellers, other directories, other marketing companies etc. going through my listings and then cold calling people.

Once I know their IP numbers I can redirect them away from the pages displaying telephone numbers to wherever I like

Statcounter is much better for real time stats and tracking visitors moving through the site.
