Are you afraid that the spammers may be employing hypnotists?

I get genuine calls from my credit card company asking to verify
charges they think are suspicious.  Usually the charges are
legitimate, but not always.  They don't have to ask me for my card
number, SS number or anything else to verify the charges.

If they find suspicious charges, and can't verify them, then they stop
the card I think.  Which would be annoying, so I don't want to hang up
on them.

If I don't answer, they leave a message asking me to call the credit
card company at the number on the back of my credit card.   

But I think if I just hung up on them (repeatedly) the results would
be annoying to me.
