    When I get a junk call on my landline  telling me there is a problem with my internet or whatever,   I usually say  'What's my name?'  There's a pause and then they hang-up.

    We used to run a business from this landline so the scammers already know my name, as did the guy from the bank who called me

    I like that one. I'm tempted to answer the next call with the response 'What's my name? Can you help me out as I seem to have forgotten it'

    The scam calls I receive either know my name (or that of my dead spouse) or it is a recorded announcement about Amazon Prime charge coming out of my bank account or my phone or internet connection being disabled.
