I am sure that you are all aware and can easily spot scam phone calls from a so called bank. However in my case there has been a spate of them. Almost everyday. Always to the house phone . Never the mobile. They normally say " Its your bank calling" without naming the bank. They are trying to get details of debit cards. I mention this because an acquaintance was scammed recently which showed that even the brightest among us can get caught,

Just ask them "which bank"

They might guess the right one first time

Hi Paul

I don't ask which bank. Too easy. I often play the part of a decrepit old man who cant remember where his debit card is and has to go and look for it. Its a part , which my wife says ,requires no acting experience. I don't know what she means by this.

Anyway I am getting a bit fed up with it and now just hang up.

I always keep them hanging on the phone - I consider it a public service by keeping them from bothering others!
