    If I don’t know who it is then I’m not answering shit. I don’t even bother looking up the numbers anymore because they all come from spoofed caller IDs now, and if you answer you’ll get 1000 more scam calls immediately because now they know you’re dumb enough to pick up

      They’re getting ballsy these days too. I’m required to answer the phone at work because it’s a business line, but as a result we get an absolute ton of spam or empty lines. I’ve had them spoof the local hospital’s phone number several times. I got a call from the motherfuckin’ USDA the other day (allegedly), like the government agency. Empty line. Once I got a call on my cell phone from my own phone number, that was interesting.
