That is a new one. I get calls from scammers and telemarketers every day...soon will run out of space for blocked numbers. I wish I could press a button and blow up their phones...

PermalinkIt's advantageous to the (legit) telemarketer if you hang up on them, and allow them to move onto the next mark, asap.
I waste as much of their time as I can, asking stupid questions, having them repeat themselves, or have them go through an entire process of signing me up for whatever garbage their selling, only to decide against it minutes later.
Inappropriate propositions are fun also.
As for the 'Mexican gangster' thing, I simply cannot take people who demand charity, seriously. If you're a broke gangbanger who cannot articulate a coherent thought in intelligible English, I'm just not that worried about you.
