I had a nice asian gentleman ring me yesterday telling me he was going to send me one of those alarm things that go round your neck so if I fall I can summon help, when he asked my date of birth I said he should know that for some reason he rang off!!

Could we have your PIN too please?
Did this nice gentleman have an Irish accent?
An Irish gentleman phoned me to tell me my bank account had been hacked and £800 spent on gambling in the USA. Did I want to block the transaction? I just needed to give him my date of birth to prove my identity. He immediately rang off when I said I don't give personal information over the phone.

I never answer my phone if I don’t recognise the caller, if it is important, they will leave a message. 🤷
My tactics too. So many scams about today.

If I'm bored and I've got the time, I just string them along until thet hang up.
When they ask for personal info, I give them all the crap of the day, e.g. I'm 92 years old (takes them a while to catch on).
Their phone call - it's costing them money and time!

I came into this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

As I have mentioned on previous occasion, our landline has a security system built in.
If someone who is on your list of contacts in the phone calls you, they get an immediate connection
If the number is not on your list, they get a message to press a specified number key to connect the call. This means that any automated call does not ring on your phone.
If it should be a real person, then I encourage them to keep talking. "yes, keep talking please". Then after a while I say "at this stage I should warn you that my phone is connected to my computer which is now tracking where you are calling from"
Amazing how fast they ring off.

They always hang up when I tell them they've got through to the crematorium
