It may not sound very nice and you had better be certain it is a Robo.
"Hi, how are you?" " Not so good, I have just returned from my wife's funeral!" That normally stops everything.

Just a word of advice, I've received 3 calls suppose ably from PCH saying I've won a million dollars. Their spiel sounds reasonable till they say you've got to pay around $500 for transfer taxes. A closer look at the I.D. and telephone number shows the call is from an 876 area code which is Kingston Jamaica. Spread the word and be careful. Oh on another robo and spam call, do what I do , answer in German , "Guden Morgen, Spricten De Dorsch" then say "nein Nein" and hang up.

If an actual person is on the other end, I answer: "911, What's your emergency". I usually hear; click.
One word of caution about blocking numbers, robo calls may use a number from someone you know. Many have even gotten a call from their own cell number. Weird.....

Longshadow, thanks for the idea. The next time I receive one of those calls, I'll reply in Russian. Let's see how that goes.

I've been tempted to try Italian.

My German is rather crusty. More often it sounds like Yiddish.

I prefer saying “Gae Kocken Aufen Yaom.” When translated to English, it means,

“Go $#*T In The Lake!”

You might want to do an edit to the correct spelling and change that word to "Supposedly".

Guten Morgen, sprechen sie Deutsch?
