  1. LOL, I recently started doing that. Either pretend I am old and don't understand computers, or I speak in broken English and German, I try to see how long I can keep them on. Now I am glad--the longer I can keep it going the less calls they can make in a day! There is a special place in hell for these people!

  2.  @davidfirth9342  That I would never do. I can't bring myself to use racial slurs ever. To anyone. Even criminals.

  3.  @Michael9-23-15  100%! Eventually they start asking "Ma"am, are you playing around with me?" Then I know I am busted and see how long I can drag it out. I wish the US would start cracking down on them. And every number is online when you google it, so there must be thousands of complaints. Very sad!

  5.  j.j.cagney  I am guessing you meant polite... I also used to do that, or even try to help them out (if it is a real telemarketer, and not a scammer) by correcting them when they are mispronouncing their script. Once they would just hang up on me, I stopped. So rude!

  6. ALWAYS google the phone number and then "scam" and "IRS" or whomever they claim to be. It will always come up, along with info on how to report them! Take the few minutes to report the call. Hopefully it will help (one day...)!
