Do you screen calls?

[Deleted member 49125]

I do. If I don't know who is calling. Too many scammers out there.
Do you screen all calls or just those phone numbers you are not familiar with?

I don't pick up calls that aren't in my Contacts list (we only have cell phones) unless I'm expecting a call back from someone I don't know. It's usually telemarketers who are the unknowns, so I don't want to talk to them ever.

When we moved, I dumped the landline and that put an end to unwanted callers. I've had a few scam texts on my mobile but no unwanted calls as yet.

I’m getting some sort of work phone call from an unknown caller on a daily basis, so I answer every phone call I get. The robo calls have really calmed down lately actually.

If I get a call from someone that isn't a recognized number and that isn't in my contacts I usually just do not answer and I wait to see if they leave a voice message, if they do I will check that and if it ends up being something important, I will add the number to my contacts so that when they contact again, I know who it is and know that it's safe to answer. It's such a shame that we are now at a point where we dare not answer our phones due to possible scammers on the other end.

At my place of employment I sometimes have no choice but to screen calls. We get some pretty abusive customers that don't know when to stop.

I don't answer most calls unless they leave a voicemail then I will call back or answer it the next time depending.

No. I just do not answer if I don't know who it is.
