@eris I've lost the habit of answering me phone with "hello?". Now I just answer the phone, mute myself and put it on speakers-- this usually confuses the caller.
Then there are the times where it's only silence for several minutes. I can only wonder :acat_ok:

@eris I've also thought of filtering calls through like a business would-- "Welcome to Mergan's phone queue! You are currently 7th in line to establish a connection with the real deal!" and afterwards "If you're a family member, press 1; if you're a business with urgent information, press 2!; for extortion attempt, press 3!"
And I just hang up if I want lol :acat_chips:

@mergan I have Bixby text screening where you make them state who they are and the nature of calling before even picking up but I havent used it on a scammer yet
