I hang up on any recording. I hang up on all the insurance calls I get too. Policemans fund, cancer research, blood drives all of them. In fact if I do donate to somebody and they call begging for more they get none after.
When I was a kid it was door to door salesmen. Vacuum cleaners, encyclopedias and bibles were real common. some of them would not take no for an answer and deserved the rude behavior they got.
This phone scam thing is just crazy. Several times a week. Sometimes multiple calls a day. The salesmen were only a handful of times a year.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

My grandmother used to mess with them. Usually they ask how you are. She would say: Oh I'm so glad you asked. Actually, I'm not doing so well today. I'm sick to my stomach, and have diarrhea real bad. I didn't know if I was going to make it to the bathroom in time the last time, so if I have to leave in a hurry that's why. But, I live alone and I'm so glad you called because it's nice having someone to talk to... and on and on until they hung up, lol.
