> the Hilton Hotel roboscam What is it?

  Timeshare sales. A recorded voice starts the call with "Thank you for choosing (Marriot|Hilton Hotels|Hyatt)! We have an exciting offer..." I've been getting these for over 5 years now. Sometimes they pretend to be Costco as well. Same voice and inflection, though.

    Yeah, it's a recorded voice. A phone feature I'd love to have is to push a button and an AI chatbot takes over, with a goal to keep the scammer on the line as long as possible. Their whole business model would collapse.

        The system effectively handles those calls, managing to keep the scammer on the line for a few seconds at a time, ultimately wasting their time. However, this approach is becoming less entertaining, as scammers appear to be increasingly aware of the robotic responses, diminishing its effectiveness.
