There are some folk who make a living making their lives hell, but if you aren't one of them probably best to just hang-up, unless you know for sure you are prepared, and articulate enough to never tell them anything truthful about yourself. I normally just hang up. But sometimes, if I am a bad mood, I ask them if their mother knows what they are doing. Then I add that she would be ashamed of them. Then I hang up .
But, perhaps because I never engage in any conversation with them and just hang up, we get very few such calls. One or two a month maybe. And almost no scam emails.
