If I have time, one of my favorite things to do is to keep them on the phone for as long as possible. There's always a note pad and pen by the phone so I make a quick note of the time they called, then pretend to have dementia and a lot of health problems which I need to tell them about.
I also talk about Jesus a lot because - well if anyone needs evangelism... 🙂
After that, I talk about how proud of my family I am and ask them if their mum would be proud of them in their chosen career? They usually say yes so I ask "what even though you are a telephone scammer trying to rip people off?
I think my longest time is about nine minutes so far. It's become a fun little competition 😂
