Being dinosaurs, we still have a land line. We use the same tactics as above^^, except my phone limits the number of blocked numbers to 30, and we reached that limit within one week! Now, all unrecognized numbers go to the answer machine/caller ID and few, if any messages are left.

As an aside, last week, we got an incoming call from our own number, 15 times in three days! Bottom line, as we all know, scammers have worked around all calling protections and it's up to us to screen everything.
