So, I do different things when getting scam or unwanted calls. SOmetimes I answer, Officer O’Malley, FBI... or I answer with non-sequiters—after they go through their spiel, I say” “ I like riding in rented cars”—or I say “Let me get my Mom.” (I am a senior citizen btw) I say other things too that come to mind, sometime sthey involve liking meat-loaf or I tell them I have no friends, or I live in the woods without electricity—blah, blah blah...Or one of my favorites is, I let them go through their bit, and I say: “I’m sorry, can you repeat that?”
The phone invariably goes click...
Good.
You could always play the audio from a Joe Biden speech!
Interesting. If I don’t see a name or recognize a number I don’t answer. If it’s legit, they can leave a voice mail.
LOL. It made me think of Grandpa Simpson Story About Onions
Yep I do different things as well - I’ve even said “She can’t come to the phone but I’m her caretaker can I help you?...they hang up..... It’s also fun to tell them that while they’ve been giving you their “bit” you’ve been downloading all their files...an you hang up then. You can be certain they’ll be using their scamming time to check their files.
