I live in Ecuador and found answering my phone in English didn’t deter some of the craftier telemarketers because they also spoke English. I now have the ultimate deterrent! Even my wife will immediately refer the caller to me when she gets one of those pesky salespeople on the phone.
I speak to them in Erse. I’ve yet to find one who understands and can speak Irish!

Put a call screener on your phone. Works great blocking spam calls.

Those incessant pan pipes probably would be a better deterrent than a simple hangup.
