I take the opportunity to make up a long and elaborate story about how I lost my eyes and hearing in a boating accident and how it's a miracle I managed to answer the phone at all. I usually end up talking to a manager (the other scammer in a sitting room in Brum), who listens before becoming quite pissed off. It's the minor victories that makes life worth living.

I tell them I'm just on the other line and can they hold... put it on mute.. and see how long it takes them to hang up.  Usually 3+ mins

Bet the PPI claims companies are loving all the answers they are getting right  now! I generally just ignore phone calls from unknown numbers!

Yeah, after I've had my fun I add the number to a long list of blocked numbers. I think I've got most of them now. I get maybe one call a month, which is down from a couple a week about a year back. I like to think they block me, which is an achievement in itself.

Yeah when I do get caught with one of those calls I never put the phone down on them but drag out the conversation as long as I can waste their time until they put the phone down on me (often accompanied by a swear word after they've lost their temper)!  Drives the missus mad that I do it for so long but it's like a game eh?

Yeah, I had a really bad one.
Oh, sorry to hear that. What happened? (sound of counting money in the background)
I'm not sure. I had a really bad accident and it's affected my memory.

Excellent..i normally tell the windows people they must have the wrong person as i've never owned a computer. Then i get asked how i send emails which of course i've never heard of.

I sometimes tell them I was involved in a nasty accident and passed away. Quite a hilarious awkward silence ensues and they generally never call be back again! 

Or I tell them I'm so glad they called as I'm so lonely and just need someone to talk to. They usually hang up straight away!
