On email I block it. On the landline phone, I say nothing - or maybe just "Hello" - and leave an open connection until they disconnect.

And for those who ask why I answer - I get too many calls from unknown numbers that are legitimate calls to ignore them. Real people will say "Hello" if I say nothing. Robocalls and scammers, nope.
