I don't answer unknowns either unless it comes in on the secret family borrowed a phone 911 code.

I start asking how the weather is in India. Then they follow up with "Oh, no ve are not in India". I ask then when they migrated to Africa as they surely don't sound Pakistani". They hang up.
I tell them I moonlight as a cat burglar and ask them if they want a good deal on some virus free computers. I dunno why they hang up so fast.
I told the last one " I don't own a computer. " He went " uh, uh uh" until I said goodbye. I like playing with them.

I have gotten over the past 20 yrs or so, hundreds of maintenance supplier calls. Hi, I'm Jill, how are the blank blanks you purchased from us recently doing? You need me to ship your next order today? I'll get your free token out today too, want me to ship to your home? Hint hint scam and unethical kickbacks......
I usually hang up, but I do occasionally put them on hold for a couple of minutes and check on them for as long as I can keep them on the line.
I know Apu. Homer and I buy our beer and slurpees from him. Nothing better than a cold Duff beer after a hard day at the gun range. :bigsmyl2:

I like to get them started with a few dumb questions so they think they have a live one on line. Then I say just a minute there is someone at the door and lay the phone down and see how long it takes for them to hang up.
I made a recording using that disguised voice the hacker group anonymous uses. It say we have hacked your phone and your computers.mThe virus we installed will cause them to explode in 5 minutes... they hang up fast for some reason
I like to just keep pressing numbers on the phone during the conversation.
I got that call one time. After he said my computer was infected, I said "that's strange, I have a work laptop and you would think the NSA would have VERY strong anti-virus". Silence ........ "oh, and by the way this is my work phone also".................CLICK.
I use one of these gizmos to hang up without picking up.

Push the button, it picks up, gives the beep-Beep-BEEP! Line-not-in-service tones, followed by a message politely saying 'go away', and hangs up.
That's funny, that item is out of stock.
I only need the land line so I can fax out.
When it rings the fax answers.
If they can speak Faxlish more power to 'em.
I had a similar low-life phony call months ago from Rakingtingmingololo.
I used to feel guilty about just hanging up on someone without saying a word. I doesn't really bother me anymore.
I used to work tech support and have my ms certification. I got that same call and preceded to blow him so far out.of the water that he hung up on me lol. I even got as far as talking about binary code and he like yes sir, yes sir, and then I asked him where the binary code was located and he said goto control panel and I laughed. He hung up.
The one I have been getting lately is from some people that claim to be Publishers Clearing House and that I have won $250,000.00. I just tell them to send the money and hang up.

@ Waksupi - baDONKpssshhh. Your very own rimshot. Well done, sir.
A geek friend of mine made a little e-box for me that plugs into a phone jack. It generates a loud, screechy tone in the earpiece of the calling phone. Or if I can tell that it's Haji calling, I open the back door and pop off a round into the berm, then tell them, 'I raise cattle. I just shot one in your honor. Its innocent blood is on your hands. Every time you call here, I will kill another cow.' They hang right up.
