   My current probability estimates for how likely some attempt at direct communication from a stranger is some form of scam:

   - Instant Messenger (2%)
   - IRL Talking (10%)
   - Addressed Mail (50%)
   - Unaddressed Mail (70%)
   - Email (80%)
   - Text Message (100%)
   - Phone Call (100%)

     If someone is calling you it's definitely a scam.

     I will only answer my phone if there is a pre-arranged meeting for that time written down in my journal - and even then I will double check the number before accepting.

     @sarahjamielewis The one thing I miss on my feature phone is sending all calls from numbers not in the contact list to voicemail.
