For both landline and cellphone I have unknown numbers go immediately without ringtone to the answering machine. If it is a legitimate new caller they can use the box and I call back.

Typically scammers rarely bother to leave a message and this way they did at least not disturb me at an unconvenient time.

Turn off your call forwarding on your landline! Your number can be hacked, and forwarded to another smart phone number. Voila! Your landline is now a smart phone, under a hacker's control. And then they can steal from any account that has your land line as the only number.

First, they change your email address to a "burner" email address. then they try to withdraw! Luckily, in my case, they tried too soon, and the financial institute marked as a hack and shut down access. I only found out about it via snail mail, , ,
