I been getting it back to back out of the blue but I never really did anything in the past few months to even expose myself out there.

Is there a number I can report? So far I just say my name is "Mohammud Jihad" or "Allah Ackbar" and they hang up right away but there a service I can block on my cell phone beside manually blocking everyone that comes up?

They will DOG cuss you if you enjoy hating on them pre-emptively. It's worth recording and putting on the internet. You can get unfathomable gold. You prank the prank caller.

I don't answer calls from unknown numbers, so it's not an issue.

I have one caller leave a voice mail including the phrase "don't let this get you arrested!" so I'm pretty sure they took English lessons from a southerner.

I’ve had a warrant out for my arrest for like 9 months now from the IRS, but they for some reason haven’t gotten around to doing more than a computer message claiming to be a member of the local police.

I always say they sound sexy and ask what kind of underwear they have on.

If you AT&T get the app that blocks those calls. Since I've uploaded my calls have gone down at least 80%.

I don't answer any numbers that aren't saved in my phone. If it's important they will leave a message. One of my co-workers always answers with a borderline racist Indian accent or tells them that they have called a FBI office and asks who they are and how they got this number. As stupid as it sounds, they usually hang up right after he answers.

I had one call me on my work number last week. It sounded just like Apu from the Simpsons told me to suck his dick before he hung up on me

I tell them to hold on while I grab my information then set the phone down and go back to what I was doing.. Sometimes the SOB's will hang on for like 5 minutes.

I love fricking with those scammers. One of my favorites is when they ask for my SSN I give them 10 digits, and when they say i gave too many digits I say take off the last one.

I think that's a good one. "You're with ISIS?!!!! I am calling Homeland security!"

and they would go "No IRS!"

Me: ISIS?!!!

I play along if I’m bored until they get pissed and hang up, true story. Mostly just ignore strange numbers.

I pretend I am completely clueless to the point where I cannot even locate the Windows key on the keyboard. I've strung them along for over thirty minutes just playing dumb then drop the bomb on them that I'm just fricking with them. They get so pissed it's hilarious.
