Re: A Typical Scam Call I Get

I go for this approach:

Spamer - "Spam spam spammity spam"

Me - "Just a moment, I just need to grab a pen and paper so I can write down this amazing offer!"

* leave phone by TV or radio, and come back in a few minutes to see if they're there, if they are

Me - "sorry mate, still looking for that pen, just hold on a sec ok?"

and repeat.

Most of them give up after five minutes, lightweights!

(Mind you, I don't have a landline, and almost never get spam on my mobile)
