I pick up every call I'm aware of. Scammers, phishers, polls, and everything else. I love messing with people, and good luck with getting accurate poll results, I have a dice rolling app I use to answer the questions.
It's even on a schedule for me now. The 'TV company' scam calls around 5pm to try me out, polling places seem to be weekend exclusives, and rarely I'll get a noonish jingle from some other random organization.
About 40% of the scam calls automatically disconnect after 8 seconds, and the rest I get to play with.
Careful some calls might just be to collect your voice data for cloning. They'd call, record, and use your voice for malicious purposes like asking your relatives for money
I don't think my early 20's radio host voice will be of much use to them.
Have you tried explaining in your native language that you don't speak that language? They love it.
Not yet, but I can do that later.
