Anyone else like to play with cold call scammers?

I usually just start talking to them in German or Vietnamese. Call doesn't last long..

"Klingon" works as well.

Since you can usually tell they are telemarketers before you answer, I like to answer in Italian or Russian (I speak about five words of each but they don't know that! I'm very good at gibberish too!) Catches them off guard and they hang up after about 10 seconds..

I typically quote Zydeco lyrics, which are in French Creole, and tell them things like “the snap beans are not salty”, or “I am not worried”, or my favorite “squeeze their tail and suck their heads”. Its usually met with a click!

I've been using the call screening feature on my Android phone. It lets them know the call is being recorded then asks for their name and purpose of the call. Works like a charm and let's me have the option to block future calls.
