I never speak when an unknown number calls, which is usually enough for the computer calling me to hang up and presumably to delete the number from the database.

I just laugh, on the rare occasions someone got through and I disconnect quickly.

I'm going to be arrested apparently, I've been in an accident that wasn't my fault and Microsoft have me on speed dial. I deal with these calls all in the same way, by cutting them off and blocking their number.

We recently had people calling at the house offering free home improvements. We sent them away with a flea in their ear too.

I've also had this National insurance call. Oddly; from a mobile number which is almost identical to my own apart from the last 2 numbers. I block and report it.

Apparently I am under investigation by HMRC and if I didn't press 1 a warrant for my arrest would be issued, strangely enough it was from a mobile number

I work for a government agency... we get lots of frightened older people giving us a call with regards to this... best advice I can give is to get in touch with the government national fraud helpline and they can take details...

Amazon phone me at least once a week. As the calls originate from a specific place with a strong culture of honour I ask them whether their parents are proud of what they do for a living. I ask them whether their parents hold there heads up high when they explain what their beloved son/daughter does for a living to others in their social group.

Doesn’t tend to go down well if I’m honest

Don't answer numbers I don't recognise, look them up on "who called me" and see what other people have said, then block.

I work weird hours 6pm - 2am so I sleep in till at least 10am. So I have to unplug my landline due to the calls I get at 9am from these scammers.

I also string them along, the longest I kept on the line was 20 minutes before he knew I was taking the piss. Especially as he’d phoned up about my WiFi with BT and I’m with Sky

I got a text last week from a bank I don’t bank with, it looked quite genuine so I understand why people can fall for it. I checked out the bank’s website and they showed the exact same text as a scam on their page. So my advice is always contact your bank first

I try to keep the HMRC ones on as long as possible, After about 20 mins I will throw them a curved ball by asking the to quote me my tax reference number, the line goes dead. You could also ask them if the are calling from the Delhi office or the Mumbai office and that you did not realise HMRC had an office in India.

I have 3 warrants out for my arrest, no one arrested me yet despite the promise that they would be at my door within half an hour.

It all passes the time away.

Get loads of them Amazon HMRC Banks Royal Mail . All sorts if it’s female I ask how big her tits are and if her pussy is wet .they hang up or say I’ll be reported to the police and I say ok keep the line open and I’ll be glad to speak to them . And if male I ask if they are a benchode or a manachode which according to the spam busters on YouTube means motherfucker or sister fucker that usually gets rid of them or they show true colours and start abusing you . nothing racist here but most according to the spam busters are located in India big call centres and the people working in them just regard it as a normal job happily ripping off people in the USA & UK

I’ve spoken to Banks . HMRC DWP Amazon and they all say there’s nothing can be done about it .

The HMRC apparently owe me money.

I have apparently been involved in a road traffic accident and can make a claim.

& lately even I have been told my Amazon Prime subscription has been renewed for X amount. (I don't even have Amazon Prime!)

Hate these bastards.

I had to disconnect my land line due to their actions.

My late wife, suffering from a degenerative neurological condition, kept being distressed by them calling.

She would phone me in floods of tears thinking I had been in some accident.

They are just 2 bit sleaze bags mainly praying on the elderly, infirm and vulnerable.

May the fleas of a 1000 camels infest their armpits and their hands drop off at the wrists...

Over the last 3 months I've noticed a large increase in fraudulent texts, emails and phone calls claiming to be my bank, HMRC, Openreach, DVLA, Amazon, Royal Mail. Almost ever 2nd day now something. It seems like this is becoming quite the pandemic. However sadly I have not won the Nigerian lottery for over a year now.

Yes it's quite a gift when you have a vivid imagination and they've caught you at a period where you have time on your hands.

When we get a call from a real person rather than a prerecorded message (like the fake Amazon & HMRC ones) we answer as a business and they instantly hang up.

As an IT tech I personally love the BT internet router ones. If I have a few mins I see how long I can keep them on the line before they hang up on me. Acting all dumb and pretending to do as they ask.

For the other callers I have employed a number of other tactics including leaving the phone by the radio, asking them about themselves as we talk and asking if crime is acceptable in their religion or if they keep calling I have blown a whistle down the phone.

I generally hang up, but when I can be bothered, speaking my really crap German or french seems to confuse them enough.

The best one is getting a bit uppity at them asking how they got the number to a dept within the police/ intelligence/ government - usually has them off the line in seconds...... but when you get the one that goes for it.... it’s speaker phone time!

A new aspect of the scam is asking you to 'press 1' or another number to speak to an agent. If you do then it diverts you to a high rate phone line. So if you do speak to them (even to wind them up) you may be paying for the privilege.

I run a small business and every day I get a call from the same international company offering me discounted utility rates. Sometimes their regional accents are so strong it is difficult to understand what they are saying.

If I am not busy, I do like to wind them up and waste their time, especially when they ask how much I pay and who is my supplier. I will make up a fictional company and tell them I only pay £3.50 a month for my Gas and Electric, then I try to sell them discounted double glazing and they have to buy it now to get the deal... Or I will speak to them in an other language if I am busy, they soon put the phone down...
