If I need to unload some stress or I'm bored, and I get a call from ANY of these lowlife scumbags, I'll turn the tables by playing mind games and wasting THEIR time. I will either be serious and ask them questions, that they possible can't answer about the subject at hand, or even questions that has nothing to do at all with what they want. Sometimes, I'll just play dumb and just irk the crap out of them, until THEY hang up. It's funnier than hell, when you give them a dose of their own! I've even left the speaker phone on, while I went to the bathroom and come back, and I've told them I had to go pee. They will have either hung up, or you can end it by saying something like: I've got to go now, Bye and hang up. I've left the speaker phone by the TV while it was on, especially a Spanish channel or kids channel, and It's hilarious to listen to them rant & rave and get madder than a hornets' nest and then hang up, and you don't have to interact or say a thing! I am finding that I'm getting fewer & fewer calls. I think they are spreading the word to their scumbag buddies NOT to call the "Crazy Man."
But, there are days that I don't feel like messing with these lowlife scumbags. What I do then, is I do a quick answer & hang-up immediately, as soon as I don't recognize the calling number, usually within 1 or 2 rings. This acts just like a call-blocker device and I have found it is usually effective on about 2/3 of the scam calls. I keep a list, and the 1/3 that do call back, I block.
