If I'm answering by default, might as well waste the scammer's time.
I spent two decades doing phone work, B2B cold sales calls and then technical support (hardware and software). So I understand call lists and scripts, and have some sympathy for the individuals that can't find a better job.

Some will try to pull the call back on script (good luck with that), others recognize the futility and bail early. I am easily entertained.
