My last encounter, when I was really busy in preparation of dinner on stove, was to break into their speal with:
I am sorry but this number cannot accept calls of this nature. Thankyou.
and then hang up without waiting for reply.
I have caller number ID so I then add that number to my contacts as "Do Not Answer".
I did hear of someone who pissed around with one of those scammers and got:
"I know your name and address, I can have your family killed with ease"
Who needs that sort of stress.
So keep it short and sweet, and end with thankyou.
