The best kind of revenge to employ on scammers like this is to answer that phone and be sweet as pie.
When they ask to speak to the business owner, very politely ask what the call is regarding...give them every indication you intend to put them through if only they will tell you who they are and what they want.
When they do, reply, "Certainly! One moment please." And slam that handset down on the cradle as hard and sloppily as you can. You want them to hear you mashing their ear as you disconnect.
The feeling of satisfaction you will get is immense.
The best part is, if they have the balls to call you back, you can simply claim there must be a problem with the system (since you were so polite initially, they'll believe you) and you can hang up on them again. Repeat as often as necessary. Happy day to you!
