They are trying to get you to say yes, then with AI can manipulate accounts in your name. I get texts all the time, which i not only block but report as spam.

/—-/ I never say yes. When asked can you hear me or is this Cellblock2429? I respond with a question, What is this about? In fact, until they prove I do know them or if it’s a legitimate call, I answer each question with another question.

Wow! I monitor calls and thus far I don't answer callers I don't recognize. Usually the spammers hang up right after listening to my brief automated message. Question: Where do you report these spammers ?
One thing I hate is when they leave their full one minute time with their message.

Thanks for any info.

If you get texts that start like "Hey how's it going?" or "this is ______ what time should I pick you up?" Do not reply at all. Block and report.

and what do you tell them?

For example:

Zone1 - My conversation with Martin Luther

The pope sent me to convince Luther that his work is not appreciated by anyone and that he should not waste his life on the Reformation. But there is no way to change his mind. He turned out to be too stupid to be a threat or useful for us, anyway. The Reformation rules, mate! Aye, the...

The bold text is mine, the normal text is the bot´s reply.

I have Google's call screening, which addresses unknown numbers with a bot asking what they're calling about. 99.9% of the time the spammer hangs up, I report it, number is blocked, one and done.

Calls to my phone go unanswered if their number is not in my contacts. If they don't leave a voicemail, then it wasn't important.

If a customer asks if they can pass my number on, I always ask them to tell the person they're passing it onto to leave a voicemail and/or text.
