Me latest wheeze when the scammers ring is to pretend to be the old faithful retainer. They always start by asking if they are talking to Mr Noc or whatever, so I say no I'm his butler Scrotum and very politely ask how can I help?
So far they have rung off, but if they keep talking I'll be very easily persuaded to pass Mr Noc's London appartment number on to them - 02080891924. That's just another scam number, so if they ring it they will end up trying to scam a scammer, and good luck to them with that. Edited by Mike Noc - 01 Dec 17 at 09:31 |

I just screen ALL calls with our answering machine.
I tell people that I want to hear from that they need to start talking after the message and if I'm there I'll pick up - usually with a "Real Greg here" greeting to distinguish myself from the "answering machine Greg" message.
I've got the machine programmed to announce some known callers (the ones I want to talk to, at least). I am on the Oz "Do not call" register, but we still seem to get a lot of cold callers who hang up as soon as they realize it is a recorded message, then they follow up with lots of calls, sometimes for a day or so before they finally give up. Many of these calls originate overseas, and are always "private callers" ie no number displayed.
I know it puts some people off, but I found the 100% answering machine policy to be my best defence. Not so good for anyone trying to run their business via phone calls though. I guess you could try selling to them instead

I answer the phone with a cheery "hello".
They say "am I speaking to Mr ColintheFox?" or whatever.
I say hold on a minute, I'll see if I can find him for you. It may take a few minutes.
I gently lay the phone to one side, and get on with my work.
A few minutes later I hang up.
I can tell they're pissed off 'cos sometimes they phone straight back. Then they get the answering machine, and I can hear.....................

In a low, husky voice simply ask "what you wearing?"
Male or female, doesn't matter. A few long silences followed by a few grunts thrown in for good measure usually helps.
