If the number doesn't show up with a name attached, meaning you are
already in my address book, then I don't answer.  If it's legit, they
will leave a message, and I call them back.

If I'm bored, I'll answer, and press 1 for a human.  Then when they
answer, I ask them what they're wearing.  They get mad and hang up.
Doesn't reduce the number of calls, but I have fun.

Almost 5 billion robocalls last month, according to this source:
https://robocallindex.com/  And they can spoof the number to look like
almost anything.
