Caller ID is a great thing for us. If we do not recognize the number, we do not answer. If they want
us, and are legitimate, then they can leave a message. Our church calls on a crazy "private caller" thingy and leaves a message. We often check the numbers on the computer and discover that they are indeed scammers who have been caught previously by others. The bad thing about all the scam callers is that we have to get up and answer/look at the phone and they often call
in the middle of my afternoon nap!
