My do older people even answer spam/scam phone calls?

I witnessed a customer yelling on her phone at a spam call.

Why do you even answer numbers you don’t know? I personally have my phone set up that unknown numbers get silenced.

I noticed my older family members answer them too… it’s weird. Just ignore them.

Perhaps many are like me, not having a telephone that displays the caller's number. Preferably also your indexing name, so you don't have to try to remember umpteen genuine numbers. (Though the first digits should be a clue if it's from abroad.)

What's more important is how you respond to the call.

I don't suppose it's just "older" people who take these calls, either.
