If you hang up, how does that help? Are you talking about them trying to make you think they hung up?
If so, it sounds like a long-shot tactic, especially because everyone uses cell phones now.
- ocdtrekkie 6y agoThe most vulnerable population to fall for scams is seniors. Also the most likely population to still be using land lines.

- robjan 6y agoIn the UK landlines almost always start with 01 or 02 so it's easy to identify who is using a landline. You can also go through the phone book (which only lists landlines) looking for "elderly" names. People who don't bother / know how to opt out of the phone book are probably easier targets as well.
