If a scammer gets you on the phone, do this: Act very interested...
act friendly. Then when they are about to clinch the scam, say:

"Oops, forgive me, I have to hurry......my supervisor is calling me."

When they ask about your supervisor, say:

"I work for the FBI's telephone fraud unit."

I also got the “Microsoft Tech Support calling about a serious computer security problem” call.

I said “Oh, that’s good. My computer is a Mac. Can you help me with that too?”

I only pick up when I want to amuse myself by cranking someone.

Another line that prompts their immediate disconnect is to let them speak their opening lie, then tell them “This is important. Don’t hang up. Our tracing software takes a minute or two to finish a thorough trace to your actual location. So don’t hang up!”
