If it’s not a number I recognize I graciously let them talk to the machine.
Shouldn’t this have been posted in chat?
Over 90% of the calls on we get on our landline are just this so I screen them too and let them talk to the machine.
Even on my cell phone, I don't answer any number I don't recognize. If it's legit, as it is about one in a hundred times, they can leave a message and they do.
