Most phones have caller ID feature, and most, if not all, have answering machines or service. It is best not to answer a call if you don’t recognize the telephone number. A legitimate caller will leave a message that you can easily relate to. You can then call back. If the message has nothing to do with you or your activities, deep six it with prejudice. If the caller claims to have something to do with your relatives, call them directly.
