My grandfather had a wonderful solution for phone and door-to-door pitches, real or fake. He'd answer the door or phone. They'd start their spiel. He would say "NO!" and slam the door or hang up.
This isn't so much about scammers calling me as someone using my work cell phone number on loan applications. Apparently loan and credit card companies must not do very good background checks. I've been getting dunning phone calls for this woman for TWO YEARS now! I let the calls go to voicemail now. Once I answered and politely explained that this was a business cell number and that person never had this number. The caller got ugly with me, started yelling at me as if I was the person. That's when I stopped answering the calls.
