Likely they will step up their efforts, as they often, try to use the fear factor. I have my own way of dealing with them, as follows:

Upon realising a call is a scam, I remain calm, and pretend to be in need, of, and grateful for their help. I then say I need a few seconds, to do something, quick, but urgent (turn the bath taps off, turn chip pan off). I then put, phone down, do not end call, and waste their time, while they are waiting for me to return (which I will not do).

I once got some scammer calling me back, about 4 times, thinking he had conned me, before he realised, I was conning him.

That's what my mum does, TBH she started doing it accidentally, my dad just puts the phone down sometimes telling such callers to "do one".  Me, despite not giving my phone no. to anyone for years, being ex-directory and having a 'block' on my number I still receive quite a few, if it's a number I don't recognise I just don't answer, if it's important (it next to never is) they will text or write to me....

I'm the same. Not so much worried about the scamming, i have better things to do than to waste time listening to some tw*t...
