You did the right thing. The telephone is a favorite tool of scammers. I am immediately suspicious of anyone who calls on the telephone even if the caller ID matches. Unless it is family, friends, someone returning a call or someone with an appointment, I don’t want to be called.

Hi. You don't know me, but can I have your credit card numbers?

I got a call some months ago that had no name in the caller ID display, but it had my own phone number!

If I get a call from someone not clearly identified as family or friend, I answer my phone “Bueno!” like some families do. The results are amazing!
