Hmm... "No worries, I'll do that but it'll probably be in a few days as I'm pretty busy now."

A good one. Or if it’s something you really should verify right away, call your friend or relative first. If the scammer answers again, you’ll definately know.

Good tactic, that'd work. :)

Except its your 60 year old mum answering the call, and 'calling back' just made her absolutely sure she can trust the nice bank lady on the phone.
