I always answer my phone in a business professional manner, "Thank you for calling. How may I direct your call?" This stops most scammers that are calling in person AND the robocalls that are programmed to wait for the keyword "hello" to start their recording. If no one responds in a couple of seconds I ask, "Can I help you?" and wait another second or two then say, "Please remove me from your call list." so that I can take them to court if they call back.
I got 3 of these calls in the past half hour. They should all go to jail or have to clean bedpans or something equally disgusting for what they do.
