A good tactic I use is as stated + if you see a number you don't recognize is to answer and then put yourself on mute and wait. Typically robocalls just hang up after a few seconds of silence.

I struggle to do this cause it shows that the number is valid. Always leads to an increase in calls for me :(

  • Not answering also lets them know the number is valid, unless they receive some sort of error after dialing.

Call centers will dial multiple numbers and connect to only the ones where someone responds. Sometimes they will still hang up on you because multiple calls responded.

Probably a wash whatever you do after picking up.
