Make it a 3 way call and see if you can get one to successfully sell to the other.

I'm a network engineer and I'm never sure if the person calling is calling me about work or not, since we have over 100,000 employees...

What I might start doing is just waiting for unknown callers to leave a voicemail. The problem with that is almost everyone's phone number is unknown, lol.

It is so fucking annoying, especially when they spoof local numbers.

Is there any way to stop this? In the last 3 weeks, Monday thru Friday between 8am and as late as 6:30 i'm getting 5 to 7 calls a day without fail. It's all local numbers, some are just one or two numbers off from the other. I block each one that comes in, can I just block all incoming calls that aren't on my contacts list? I'm kinda phone dumb. This shit is getting insanely annoying.

I've run into this problem before too. People were like "Why do you keep answering unknown numbers?" and I was like "My potential employer only calls from blocked numbers".

I had someone claim to be the second coming of Jesus and he needed so many trillion dollars to go meet Trump lol.

Then there was also a lady who said her family was worth like $43 million, she spoke 13 languages, was a master ballerina teacher, and she trained Mike Tyson XD

The easiest way is to use a call blocker app and block anyone not in your contacts list.

99% of "local calls" aren't local at all. They're international VOIP spoofing caller ID and they're not even telemarketers. They're just scammers trying to rob you.

There is a protocol called STIR/SHAKEN that is in the works that would basically force calls to be authenticated somehow, which should stop the vast majority of these spoofed number calls.

The FCC has instructed carriers to put it in place, but it's gonna take a while before it's widespread.
