I do! I say hello and then put the phone on the table and wash some dishes at them until they hang up.
Annoying them and wasting their time is my gift to society.
This is not the best idea, when you answer they know it’s a live number. Your number will be sold and before long you’ll get even more spam calls. I love the feature on my phone that identifies and blocks spam calls automatically
Not a real option for me, unfortunately. I have kids, which necessitates picking up any old number in case one of my kids lost their phone and are trying to get hold of me by borrowing from a stranger.
I get a particular spam call at least once a day. I recently tried answering, setting my phone under a pot, and banging the fuck out of it with a spoon. Modern phones must suppress sudden loud sounds though because all I got was, “I think you’re breaking up, is anyone there?” Highly disappointing.
Play the SIT intercept sound to them.
You know… the beeps with the message that says the line is no longer in service, etc.
Is they’re using an automated dialer, it’ll recognize the beeps, and odds are your number will be automatically purged from their list for a while.
