I suppose the problem is that you might troll them back with a witty response - but they might exact revenge by calling you more often..

I once told them I didn't have a computer because the electromagnetic waves they give off causes cancer and I went on try and sell them some healing crystals to protect them from the very dangerous work they're doing

[DoctorStrangelove]

I tell 'em I'm running Win3.11.

The bafflement is extreme in doing the needful.

[cojak]

I just keep them going and then tell them that I have a Mac.

That normally stresses them out.

It's ways good fun to waste their time. It's a public service, preventing them from scamming people who could be misled.

I got one of these tossers and just hung up on him as he was in mid spiel. He then phoned back.

"Why did you hang up on me?"
"Because you're a ******* scammer. Does your mother know what your doing?".
bzzzzzzzzz

Mrs BP once gave the phone to baby bp. It was a lasdy fraudster who sounded Indian. He asked her if she liked curry!

Yeh. Always getting calls from "BT" or my "internet provider". Don't have your patience, I just swear and slam the phone down.

Actually enjoyed the exchange. He's lucky because I was busy and the last guy that tried it, I managed to keep on the phone for 20 mins(15 of which on hold)before telling him where to go.
