When the caller tells me "it's about the injury you received in your accident " I usually tell them "it's all ok now that they've amputated it from the neck down!" caller hangs up.
What do you say to nuisance phone callers?

I shine them on.... I'm sitting at home with nothing much on anyhow. Last call I had (BT are going to cut you off) I connected to their PC after they were dumb enough to give me their PC ID after I told them mine was blank.
After I stole and deleted all their desktop files and deleted their windows folder files I asked them where they kept all their good stuff as I'd got all I could find with ease... They questioned my mothers heritage and made some threats before the sound of my In-laws and wife pishing themselves with laughter made them hang up.
I got the FULL login details with credit/debit card number with the three digit pin from the back in one file for a person, I called up his bank, Santander, took a good 20mins to explain what i had done and get put through to the correct fraud dept. I hope they cancelled everything and let the person know what had happened but of course they couldn't confirm that any of the details I had were legit...but the way he said thanks I'm pretty sure some poor sod had been ripped off good a proper.
There were a few other number they had noted to call back so I called a few to let them know it was a scam. The old couple I got were a nightmare but luckily their son turned up and spoke to me so all sorted in the end.
Still shows you that folk do fall for it.
I look forward to the calls!

I say sorry hang on someone is trying to sell me PPI on my other line. Then I just put the phone down without disconnecting. They don't hang on for very long. They don't ring back either.
Years ago I got a call from a conservatory company. Let them spend five or ten minutes going through their sales pitch before asking them if they did ones on stilts as I lived in a top floor flat at the time........ they hung up 
Nothing. They can't reach me. No, they can but the Mr. Number app on my Android phone blocks all callers whos numbers are a suspected spam or/and not in my caller/contacts list. That app just bocks them.
Mr Number is a great app.
I received the fake Microsoft call a few years ago. I pretended to be an old man and asked him what Microsoft is, I told him I didn't know what a computer was and said I would need to ask my son about it.
After 5 mins of pleading my ignorance, the poor chap hung up and they haven't called since.
Result.

As they normally call around the time I’m having my evening meal, I ask them what time they’ll be having theirs. I then say that I’ll call them back then!
My son received a call on his mobile saying he had been involved in a car accident.
He replied - Oh yeah it was devastating. I was racing along the road in my Ferrari and a cat ran out in front of me. Not only did I take out the cat, I also hit a tree.
They hung up.
My son is 13.

I keep getting phone calls asking for someone named Jane Seymour, I always reply with "Jane Seymour the actress, or Jane Seymour, late wife of Henry VIII ?"
They usually hang up, although one replied with "funny aren't you", which made me laugh

A friend of mine lived in a bungalow with black facias and guttering. He had the sales person, including their manager on the phone for over half an hour negotiating the cost of black PVC; something they didn’t even sell!

If I'm in the mood, I'll do the following:
- I will say hold on one sec
- Then I start breathing weirdly
- Then I ask them what they are wearing
- Then more weird breathing
I was told I can claim compensation for the accident I had. I told the caller it was awhile ago. He got hooked and asked me when. I told him I was the captain on Noah's Ark and crash landed the boat. Told him he can collect the compensation on my behalf and keep 90% of the money,8% to Jesus trust fund and ....he hang up before I finished.
Never had another call
