So what if a real call comes in? Just fake it, and be like hold on, I have another call coming in, "hang up" the fake call, and answer the real one.

Because phones don't "ring" when on a call - you get a beep in the phone speaker. At least with every landline and mobile phone I've ever seen in the past few decades.
I guess there is a subset of people who may still be fooled.
