How to Get a Timeshare Spammer to Hang Up on YOU! :)

[x3 skier]

I've mentioned this before but I used to get calls to buy my timeshare for some ridiculously high amount. After negotiating an even more ridiculous higher price, I tell them to hold the line for a minute. If they haven't left, I tell them I have three more shares I just bought on eBay and I'll make them a package deal if they give me their bank information so I can verify they have the funds. Strange they don't offer that info

This wasn’t a scammer, but I thought it was.
I was driving five 13 year olds to a waterpark when my wristwatch rang.
The caller wanted to talk to Ron, my husband, who has been deceased three years. Hmm, what scam is this?
I said no you can’t.
They asked me to leave a message.
This is investco, calling about QQQ, please vote his proxy.
I told them I would tell him the next time I saw him.
But I was irritated.
That etf is titled in both our names in a trust, and I am the one that purchased it. What kind of troglodyte has to talk to the man of the house,even when he’s moved on to a heavenly home.

My preferred method is to tell them that we have a bad connection, and to call me back on another phone number.
Then I give them the number to the local FBI office.

A few months ago I received one of those calls from the "Sheriff's Office." They were calling because I had missed Jury Duty and an Active Warrant was about to be issued. My response was: "That is weird because I am the Sheriff." Click.

actually just got this same one yesterday!

Americans are losing millions to scammers at crypto ATMs. Here’s how companies profit

Companies often fail to refund money to victims and aggressively fight police to claw back scam money seized from machines.

Who on earth would take a load of cash and feed it to a machine

I rarely answer the phone. Mostly because the ringer is silent. My big phone mistake is occasionally blocking numbers. I accidentally blocked my wife. That didn't go over very well. Yes, I did un-block her and one of the kids set it up where her number always rings my phone.

Has anyone thought of saying something along the lines of, "I am a member or Timeshare Users Group (TUG) and participate in its forums frequently where we discuss the many ins and outs of the timeshare world including the many unsolicited phone calls from scammers who claim they can get top dollars for timeshares or can cancel your timeshare in a way that an owner cannot."?
