You and Mr. Silly need to band together.

I don't know. I don't pick up unless I know the caller. I didn't used to be like this. In fact, I made it a point of honor to pick up. I thought if the call was important enough to make, it was important enough to take.

I have the "Ignore if not in the contacts list" on.  I get several daily but don't go back to count.

I have turned on some call protection thingee from AT&T and it seems to help.  Just a few a day right now.  I diligently block numbers that I do not know.

Prolly 1 or 2 per week. Right now, when I answer, it's the vehicle warranty scam.

Wo2 got one a coupla weeks ago saying her SSN had been suspended for suspicious use.

Somebody here at work got the "Failure to appear at jury duty" one a while back. In addition to being a scam, it was for county jury & the person didn't even live in that county.

I've been getting the police union charity fund lately.  I've gotten to the point where the auto systems designed to sound like a person are identifiable within 3 words.

4-5 per week.  I have started putting them on speakerphone, talking with them then unzip my fly and slowly empty the contents of a watering can into the toilet.  They are normally gone by the flush.
