LMFAO! me and a work colleague used to say that to a manager at a place I used to work.
"Hello Dave - You are my wife now".
"Dave - My wife would like to use your toilet!".

Had some fun with the car accident claim ones before, managing to get up to get up to a manager about my hot air balloon crash that went down instead of up. God knows how they fell for it for that long
Yeah, they seem a bit slow... I had one today who passed me to his manager, even though my "non fault" accident was caused by me losing control after dropping my bottle of whisky on the floor because I was too busy trying to snort a line of coke off the steering wheel

It's a sad state of affairs but I basically don't answer any number I don't recognize.

Why is it bad advice? Not sure how you are construing available options for advice? They are the only two options.
Indeed it is. Especially considering that you work in a call centre.
I had a probable scam WhatsApp today, the message read, “Hi Dad, I’ve changed my number, it’s now 07- - - 07 - 7 - 4, you can delete the old one, XX”
Presumably I was supposed to reply, thereby admitting to the scammers that they had reached my number, and proving it was live.
Either of my boys would have put their name, so I’d know which son had sent it, but to make sure I phoned # 2 son in London.
“Not me dad” he replied.
So I WhatsApped # 1 son in Germany and he said, “You know that’s not my writing style, delete it.”
Duly deleted.

He isn't giving bad advice, he is giving the only options really available. The number the OP has is clearly being spoofed, if he changes numbers the chances are the next number (despite obviously being recycled) isn't being spoofed.
Attends papa, tu m'as oublié ? Comment avez-vous pu oublier votre premier-né, votre fille unique ? J'ai le coeur brisé
Très drôle M. Illicitly secret Brown, as far as I know I don’t have a daughter, but
that’s a nice try, I’ll send you some band aids for your heart, joyeux Noël
