Nope - We would have heard by now if this actually happened. There's been a few stories about this scam on these fora in the past.

Incoming call - no charge - no worries.
Full marks for wasting his time though.

Yep, whilst you are winding the scammer up and wasting his time, he's not taking advantage of some poor gullible individual!

Kudos for wasting their time. My time is too precious to me to do this though. I just hang up, although I rarely answer international/unavailable calls.
