I fixed our scam caller problem cheap. I bought a $59 ATT wireless phone on Amazon. It came with a secure screening option. Anyone who calls must press # and say their name before the ringer goes off. It announces who’s calling. Then I have the option to accept the call or not. It has the option to add known phone numbers to an accept list that circumvents security. It blocks 100% of the automated calls.

See comment 28 - we use the same thing and it WORKS. We just use the option of pressing # and don’t add the additional step of saying the name - we still have virtually 100% blocking of scam calls. It’s a great system - very easy.
