I was a tech for a police department for some years and I always loved getting the "Hi we are from your local police department benefit XYZ widows orphans bumper-sticker tickets-to-the-ball" calls. I would usually respond with "I usually donate through my Lieutenant, but if you will give me your name and address I will pass it on up the food chain." They would invariably hang up, but since I worked for a police department and ran the digital phone recorders and ID systems I would call them back and let them know we got disconnected. This usually resulted in being hung up on again, at which time I would call them back and let them know that the DA would be receiving their phone number and a copy of the recordings of their calls. It was amazing how many of those numbers were disconnected immediately. Although more than one thought I was bluffing and got caught.
A few years ago while on stress leave I got a call from a nice english speaking lady telling me that the prince of blah-blah had picked me to be his American business contact and that he would need my name and bank account number in order to facilitate sending me the start-up funds for same. I gave them a bogus name and account number. When they hung up I called my Bank President (who I went to High School with) and told him what was up, and provided him with their phone number (welcome to caller ID folks). The next day the DAs office contacted me for a statement, and a week or so later they had a warrant to do a raid on a "call center" two counties over from us. They not only found a nice illegal call center operation, but the same morons were using their two car garage to cook crystal meth. During the raid while everybody was being escorted out in shiny new bracelets they spotted somebody ducking into a garden shed on the back of the property. They caught the twenty+ year old son of the home owners in his illegal DVD copying operation on computers stolen from a local high school. Talk about your multi-tasking these folks had it down to an art.... guess it really did run in that family.
My cousin got a call last time my wife and I were over visiting her asking to speak with "the person who runs the household" She handed the phone to her five year old daughter and went back to talking to us. :p
