Report it to the Gardi that your getting harassment calls?
and/or
Answer one, give them a limited time, say 30 seconds, then hang up cutting them (if need be, in mid sentence) off without hesitation if it appears/sounds like a scam.

Don't answer! You'll be transported to 1570 and you'll have to fight a Velociraptor Bear. Haven't ya seen Back to the Future 4?

Did ya actually enter any competitions?! In the unlikely event that its a human, just ask them how they got your number and could ya please be removed from their list.

What used to happen on our house phone was the phone would ring from Private, then when I answered, about 5 seconds later someone else answered as if i'd rang them! Anyone ever have that happen?

Also various American cruise wins, and surveys, oh and something like 000000001 used to ring an awful lot a few months back.

Stuff like this are the reasons i rarely answer the house phone, and even rarer answer the front door!
