You’ll be revealing a lot. You’ll be telling them that your phone was answered by a live person. And that would probably put you on even more scammer lists. Same goes when they say “press 5 (or whatever) to be removed from our calling list”.

It’s best to just hang up. Or you could just talk to them in an obscure foreign language. That’s what I do.

I literally BEG them to take my credit card number....I say I want to buy what they are selling and I have my credit card out and am ready to read them the number. Amazingly, they hang up on me rather than take my (fake) number. Seems if you deviate from their script even one bit, they just hang up. Amazing.
