Start answering them and try to string them along as long as possible. That’s the only way you can send a signal that calling this number is actively unprofitable.

Just telling them to stop calling doesn’t work, but since I started wasting their time they have mostly quit calling. I get one or two a month.



But my time is valuable… but I would pay OpenAI's V2V rates for the privilege of stringing along scammers. I need a button “transfer to time waster agent”.


You could also transfer them to your Uncle Lenny. He can talk for hours if need be.

If you pay for a service like this, you will inadvertently create more spam callers. OpenAI will start (secretly) creating spam AI agents to create demand for their AI waster agents.
