1). Don't answer or hang up immediately.
"Hi, Is frank there? Is this frank garbowski?" [you ignore prompt to state your name.]
"No. Sorry wrong number" [There is silence. You have zero obligation to fill that silence.]
"Oh maybe you can help me. This is janet from flim flam company and I want you to kno..." [click.]
2). Keep them on the hook and make them pay with wasted effort.
"OOOOOOH that is GREAT. I love it. Hold on for just a sec the soup just boiled over. I'll be right back." [put phone down for 10 minutes]
"Hi are you still there?"
"Don't call back."
3). Engage them.
Record the conversation.
Find out their true name and address.
"Sorry I need to know what company I am talking to first. Can you tell me more?"
Serve summons and sue them in small claims for $500 per incident/harassment call after being warned it is a do-not-call number. (per the FCC)
