I used to like making the windows support scammers guess which of my computers were running Windows. (Hint: none of them).
I'm a little sad they stopped calling.
I would hit 1 to speak with a real person when those recorded calls about a warrant being issued for not paying a tax bill or something were popular. Then, when the person asked for my name, I'd act confused and say "shouldn't you have that, if there's a warrant?"
They'd just hang up.
I also once answered, "(nearby region) Regional Police, (made up name) speaking, how can I help you?" and they hung up right away, though I decided to drop that one for potential legal reasons.
I'm curious if doing those every now and then resulted in my number getting added to scammer do not call lists because those calls are very rare these days.
