Seriously, just stop answering. Make sure your contacts are up to date. Only accept calls from people you know.

When you get an unknown caller, don’t pick up. Don’t click decline. Declining let’s them know there’s a live person on the other end. Just let it ring until their system times out and hangs up. Let it happen enough and they slow down to a stop. I’ve seriously only gotten one in the past 5 months.

If you don’t answer and it’s actually something important, they’ll leave a message. The scammers never, ever do.
