I've not had this particular scam tried on me but thank you for the warning!!
I like to mess with some of them, too, at times. I've gotten to the point that if the phone rings and the number isn't listed as someone I know, I don't answer it at all. If it's something important, they will leave a message and I can return the call if it's someone I need to talk to.

I’ve taken this approach for a very long time. My outgoing voicemail even says as much…”Leave me a message, unless you’re trying to sell me something; in which case I’ll block your number.”
I have had many legitimate people who start their message to me laughing and saying it’s the best message they’ve heard!
