Does saying, hang on I've got something on the stove I need to check.
Then come back after few minutes and ask 'em to hang on a bit longer.
Put the phone back down and then leave it for a LOT longer.
Get you the desired result.
Surely they have to pay for their phone too.

If you want to get the Indian on the other end of the phone really cranking, do what my mate did.

Tell em you think Sachin Tendulkar is over rated and a hack who made 90% of his runs against spud sides.

Then hold the phone away from your ear...

since i registered about 6 weeks ago was averaging about 3 calls an evening to none at all

I have been on the register for a couple of years now.  It wont and never will stop scammers especially from overseas.  Also the DNC Register doesn't protect you from charities ringing you asking for donations, they are exempted from the DNC register.

Once I hear that delay in the incoming call they get a good blast from one of these, Call center or  scammer I dont care they get it point blank .

My Grandmother did this once (using a whistle).   The Indian caller was her doctor.............

I've had two calls this afternoon alone, our phone line is on the DNC register. 

I usually put one of the girls on the phone to them their conversations usually go like this:

Daughter: "Hello.
Milky Eyed Indian: "Hello, this is bla, bla, bla etc etc etc".

Daughter: "Are you a scammer who is trying to steal our money?"
MEI: "No, I am trying to help you".

Daughter:  :"My dad is going to find you and then you'll be sorry".
MEI: hangs up.

The girls love it, they compete with each other to see how long they can keep them on the phone for.

Had them on the phone the other night "international call" comes up so I get a bit excited. Had them (spoke with 3of them) on for over 16 minutes and was punching the air, kids were pissing themselves. I asked where they were calling from? "Sydney", asked how the weather was? "Fine" quickly checked iPhone and saw it wasn't fine so challenged them on that answer. I answered a few of their questions and later contradicted myself like telling them I was using Windows and then at the end before they hung up, telling them my iPad wouldn't work, that got him going. When they said hackers were coming I asked if I needed to get out of the house immediately  . Best way to keep them on the line is to tell them you are starting up your computer, that gets them excited. Then because it's taking so long I ask if the hackers are slowing down the start up, they think there on a winner!!

I was surprised that they went along with me for so long, there must have been about 3 of them listening as ever time they passed me onto the next victim they knew the lies I had been telling!!!
I asked the last bloke what his name was and he something like Gary Smith and I said that's funny that's my name too, I lost it and hung up and I was getting bored with their stupidity.

I'm always first to the phone with a skip until I see it's the mother in law
