I used to love messing with unsolicited calls in the old days. Nowadays, it can be dangerous. Many scams just want you to pick up so they know they have a good number. Others would love you to talk your head off while they record your voice so they can piece together a call that has your actual voice for the purpose of identity theft or some other nefarious scheme.
So, be careful trying to mess with scamerers, it could bite you in the butt.
