If i'm not in a rush to do anything, I often keep the caller chatting by asking as many questions as I can.  I usually begin with sensible questions but, as time goes on, they become slightly more outlandish.
I believe that I am doing other recipients a big favour in occupying the scammers for as long as possible.

'Hello.. You have won the Omaze prize draw'
'Hello.. you can confirm your win on the lottery'

I bet you would hear those words with little problem..

I too get calls from people who speak in foreign tongue..
I just don't respond...

I have the same problem - my hearing is poor in normal conversation - on the phone it is often awful

Call from an unknown mobile.
Pick up. Hello I am calling from £??sd;xwg  in a thick Indian accent.
Sorry I can't understand you. Hang up

Another call. Same person.  Hello I am calling from £??sd;xwg.
Sorry pardon.
Hello I am calling from £??sd;xwg.
Calling from where? £??sd;xwg electronics.
AO? (loudly because I can't help it on crappy mobiles)
Yes £??sd;xwg we will be arriving between 11 and 1
Ah sorry the call is very distorted because you are mobile. Thanks.

It was only because I'm actually expecting a call I persisted. I reckon he must get that all the time although in truth I am a bit mutton it just sounded like another scammer.

Now I've got to let them in.
