Mine too...and when the call is from an area code where I have no friends
or relatives, I make the assumption that it's someone I don't want to talk
to. If they leave a message - which they rarely do - I'll know whether my
assumption was wrong - which it very, very rarely ever is.


I look at the caller ID, and don't answer:

name is City and State (these seem to always be junk calls)

name is duplicate of number (these are junk calls)

unfamiliar business names

non-nearby and unfamiliar area codes (mostly without person's names)

meaningless and unfamiliar business names (such as "TLA GROUP")

These almost never leave a message. Maybe they KNOW what they're selling
is so bad no one who has a chance to think about it would want it.
