Just do NOT say "yes" to any question.
When I get a live person, I like to string them on. If they call for my spouse, I say that they are deceased and they apologize and quit asking for her by name. If they ask for me, I find out what they want and then if I know they are a scam, I like to ask them what they are wearing and that they have a sexy voice. No kidding, it really flusters them.
But, if it is an automated call, most of them disconnect if you only say "hello" once.
Microsoft support loves to call. Same funny Indian every time.
The IRS calls some times. NOT!.............
Social Security is a favorite scam recently.
Amazon seems to catch some folks, and I wonder why. All you have to do is check your Amazon orders record.
The other day, the VA clinic called me and I almost hung up on them because I have never had a call from them before. They were legit,...........ha,ha.
