You could try just leaving them online but not communicating.

If it is important they will leave a message. If you don’t know the number calling ignore it

Either put them on hold for 20 minutes or ask them for their phone number and you will call back when it is convenient for you.
If they can't give a call back number then ask them to take your number off their call list.

Brownman, assuming this resolves, what do we do with nuisance posts?

People have changed their mobile answering habits and generally will no longer answer a number they don’t know due to these bulk calls. Causes problems now because prospective clients won’t answer a phone call when we are replying to social media enquires they have made. Shits me to tears.

Trouble is a lot of spammers are using mobile numbers instead of landlines, but it does make it easier to bloke them as most aren't private.

If it's important they will a message. If there's no message it goes into my contacts as a scam number. I'm up to scam 46. I use to block the number but found the same mob would ring from a different number.

I ask businesses I deal with to text me rather than call me. That way I don't get caught with answering mobile numbers from cold call marketing businesses. If I do answer I give them 2 seconds to answer me when I say hello. If no answer, I hang up promptly.

I can spell reasonably well, even if in American at times. I cannot type well , so please look for the key I intended to use within one key of the strange one I used.

I saw a youtube clip recently, one I'm sure I've seen before (or very similar).
The bloke answering the call makes out that he's a copper and the caller has called into a crime scene.
"Now, how do you know Mr X?"
"You stay on the line there fellar, I've got more questions for you"
"What is your relationship to the deceased?"
and so it goes on for 10 mins or so.

Yep I do that too....any delay (from India or where ever) and I hang up and then block the number.
