For the phishing calls I've been doing a couple of things:
1. I totally d*ck with them and see how far I can string them along. Could be anything from speaking in my best broken English - Japanese, pidgin English, Chinese, etc. and act as if I can't understand them or misinterpret what they're saying. After a while they figure it out / get frustrated and hang up.
2. If I "miss" the call then I'll call them back and tell them the person they're trying to reach has died. Recently the phishing area code has been 808 - Hawaii - and it's the same MO - they're calling for someone named Heather and trying to reach her about a financial situation that needs to be taken cared of immediately. Sorry, Heather died and everytime you call it makes me sad and I start to think of her and it makes me cry.
Seems to work and odd as it may seem, makes me want to pick up those calls and talk to them!
I know, I know, kinda weird but hey, why not have some fun with it?
