I only answer calls on my cell phone from contacts I have listed and it tells me their name not the ones with just the number.

I just got a call an hour ago that said a name so I answered it. Turns out it was some kind of scam call, sounded Chinese/English accent

When you accidentally pick up a scam call, just have fun with it. They start trying to sell you on a scam, start trying to sell them on one right back. Tell them you would love to hear about their offer, but first, you have to tell them about this amazing time-share deal down in Florida that they can’t afford not to invest in!

Or just say “Have you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior?” That usually makes them hang up pretty quick.

My wife’s phone has been getting calls from unknown numbers with the caller ID identified upfront as “Spam Caller”.

Yup, got that same one.

Reported to FTC — like that’s going to do anything.
