Bravo. Reminds me of that song that goes something like "When your phone doesn't ring, it'll be me."

I listen to a prank call show where one of his recurring bits is to call people who listed used items for sale to let them know that he's not interested in purchasing their item.
"People like to tell you why they're not buying things that they never intended to buy in the first place"

-- the techmoan yt channel

Got a link?
Not sure if I can find a particular episode right now that has that type of call but if you look up Phone Losers of America, or The Snow Plow Show (both are the same guy) you can find lots of Craigslist calls.

Here's a similar idea where he pretends to be calling from AT&T to let them know they have no incoming calls:

That’s pretty funny. The UK had something like it called PhoneJackers for a while.
