Of course, I know it is a scam right away.

I asked "Paul" if I could ask him a question. He said yes. I asked him to describe his underwear in great detail! I then hung up the phone and immediately put the number on Call Block. Within a minute, the phone rang once- Call Block hung it up after one ring- and it happened about 6 more times immediately one right after the other. I guess I really got him mad (or excited?).

This Panasonic cordless phone stores 250 numbers for blocking. I love it!
I love it when people can think on their feet to get those guys. I always think of what I should have said later on when it's too late! Good for you!
