TIFU by answering a legit call like I do spam calls.

Obligatory on mobile, longtime lurker, first time poster, yadda yadda, blah blah.

So, I have a habit of trolling spam callers by answering with goofy stuff. One of my go-tos is whispering "Seven Days" like the girl in The Ring.

Onto the part where I screwed up. So, while I was on my lunch break, I got a call from a number marked as Fraud Risk. Assuming that this was actually the case, I decided to test out something I saw in a video reading Tumblr posts. I answered with, "Joe's Sperm Bank. You squeeze 'em, we freeze 'em. How may I direct your call?"

As you can probably guess from the title and the fact that this got posted here, it was not actually a spam call. I had ordered from a small business on Amazon and they needed to confirm my mailbox since they ship using USPS and I live one a suite. I, of course, apologized profusely, explaining that my phone labeled it as a fraud risk and the lady was understanding. The issue was resolved.

TL;DR: Unknowingly answered legit call as a spam call. Person was understanding, issue was resolved.

EDIT: All of these lines folks are suggesting are way better than the one I used. Thank all of you.
