Answer the call.
Do not speak.
They will give up.
If you engage with them they will continue to call.
Do not speak to them, just answer the call and leave them listening to nothing.

- Supermancho 4y ago> Answer the call. Do not speak. I grunt and listen for a response (if any). It's pretty easy to distinguish a human from a robocall nowadays. There was a brief time when a woman's voice would say "hello, uh, hello? can you hear me?" which got me once, but that was it because it played whether you made noise or not and was always the same.
