I put my number in a secure form for a trusted bank and immediately got spammed - sh.itjust.works

Area code blocked for privacy but it is spoofed from my phones number which I have not lived there in many years

Start answering. Use a heavy accent in whatever you can do. Agree with them and go along, keep working up the ladder. Then give one of the higher ups the most schizo sexual nonsense you can come up with.

Never answer, the scammers sell data to each other. As soon as you answer, they know they’ve got a live number and the number of calls will multiply.

Also there’s millions of them, pissing off a couple doesn’t really do anything.

I think the scam calls are annoying, but it takes basically no effort to ignore them when I’m not in the mood to mess with them, so I don’t mind them so much.

I figure though if I can keep one tied up talking to me for a few minutes that’s one less chance for them to be scamming someone’s grandmother. It’s a tiny drop in the ocean, but it’s still potentially one less person getting scammed that day, and that’s worth something.
