I live in Germany and I get a lot of spam calls and spam SMS. It's always in waves. Some days I stop answering calls if I don't recognise the number, because its one of these days where Interpol has informwd me already three times that my identity was stolen and I have to give them all my details to fix this ..... They're very patient at Interpol, I keep hanging up on them and they never give up.

When I have a spammer/scammer on the phone (and I actually picked up), I usually just put my phone on mute and stop talking to them. They waste a bit more time that way before they hang up (without more effort from me).

I try to help them out by letting them know that I have been trying to reach them about their car's extended warranty.

That's fun, when you have the time and want to spend it.

Side anecdote, I was taking to some sales people and they mentioned this concept of "ringless voicemails" ugh idk why people have no shame.

I solve that problem by just not having any voicemail box.
