Our police department has actually said, if you don't recognize the number or if it doesn't come up in your contacts, don't answer. Also, to contact your carrier to ban out of country calls. If you don't make them. So many senior citizens are getting scammed.
I have caller ID that pops up on my TV screen and the phone is still in my husband's name even though he has been deceased for many years. One day I got a call with our ID popping up. It gave me pause for a second to see his name appear. Since then I have gotten several calls from my own number. It is creepy.
