Just respond with something like
"Hi random person, in what way would you like to scam me today?"
Or
"Thank you for contacting me. Please note that all communication to this number will be billed as per our standard business rates. By continuing the conversation you agree to these terms and will be invoiced at the end of the day."
Get creative.

Send me your number and I will assist.
Scammers as far as I understand them is that, they won't back down never, if you are still giving them time and reply they will sweet-talk you until you give up your money. The best way I deal with them is block and forget.

I now get a couple of scam messages per week on whatsapp. This is becoming worse than SMS used to be.

All those data breaches means that just about every South African with credit has had their number leaked.
The amount of spam is getting hectic. Some of my family members are also being added to groups by strangers before I advised them to change the necessary settings on WhatsApp and Telegram.
