About two weeks ago, I broke my cardinal phone rule and answered a call from a number that I didn't recognize - it was from the same area code as a relative of mine. It was a scammy recording and I quickly hung up. Since then, I have had a flurry of calls from unfamiliar numbers that either go to voicemail and leave no message, or hang up after 2 rings. While this could be a legit wrong number, suspect it's the latest number to be spoofed by scammers. Lesson relearned - don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognize.
