When I'm almost certain it's a scammer calling, I'll answer as professionally as I can as if I'm running a business...
"Thank you for calling Ding Dong Double Dildos and Dirty Devices! How would you like to fuck yourself today?"
They usually just hang up and remove the number from the call list LMFAO! 😂🤣
I actually did this for my mom one day, scammers had been calling her left and right. She found it quite hilarious too, and by the next day, more than half the scammers quit calling 👍
Edit: Merry Christmas! This is how you fuck the scammers...
I've been answering the phone with "Bob's dildo repair,Bob speaking" since before cell phones.
Caller ID has made things less interesting though, I still remember the sigh of disappointment when my first wife's father called me the first time.
Fun fact I found out I'm an Autistic man with Bipolar disorder while in my 40s -50s so that could explain it.
The best option is to waste as much time as possible.
