I get these kinds of calls a couple times every month. BTW the "do not call" list has zero effect on these calls. The robo-callers use programs that generate phone numbers, and call them til they get a hit. They don't know who they're calling, and they don't care.
I got a call a few days ago also from a phone scam: the "grandson" call. Whenever it's a phone number I don't recognize, I pretend I don't speak english when I answer it. If it turns out to be someone I know I'll switch to normal again and let them know it's me. The grandson conversation went something like this:
Me: "Eh?"
Them:It's me, your grandson.
Me: Who dis?
Them: It's your grandson, it's me.
Me: Eh? Who dat? Allo, allo?
Them: Tsk, grandma, I'm so disappointed that you don't remember your own grandson!
Me: #*$Q# you stupid *#$O<< damned #$)*& I don't have any grandchildren. CLICK
(I don't have kids, or grandkids, or nieces or nephews. So that scam just flat out can't possibly work on me, even if I was gullible. Which I'm not)
