Is this what you were referring to? If so, it looks workable. With an authentication system for calls, blocking systems are strengthened. Properly done, this could eliminate most robot and off-shore calls.

The numbers we see are changing, sometimes a mobile form.

The latest wheeze is claiming from Amazon that I have been hacked and joined to Prime for £much less than I do pay for Prime, dial 1 to discuss.

I'm thinking of setting the answering machine 24/7 with the following message

Hello, if you are a genuine caller who knows me or does business with me, please leave the correct password and I will call you back . . otherwise please keep guessing while the timer runs down.

. . . as if there's a password :D

Kitboga on twitch deals with these scammers all the time. His stream is always a great laugh. :D
