Ever since I got a job at a place that gives me access to a phone lookup API I've been having a lot of fun.

I mean it's probably just spam so...

Obligatory "There is an app for that."
It's called Should I Answer, and it checks numbers against comunity managed database and automatically rejects spam calls, or just gives you info on its rating.
Saved me hours of pointless calls over the years and few gray hairs.

Was this meme made by unknown number callers?

A lot of times it's a call to see who is there and if it's a real number. Someone who answers a random call is someone who the Indian tech support scammers can take a crack at.
Younger folks will just send a text.

"Lady"
That's Gail Platt. She survived like three murder attempts, being married to a serial killer and unmasked two other killers, prevented two more murders and was exonerated for murder herself.

Holy cow. What a fury. Imagine being a serial killer and getting your ass handed to you by an empath...unless... she's an even greater serial killer that gets others to pay for her murders. đ¶âđ«ïž

Why would you answer an unknown number? Random good things don't call. Answering confirms the number to scammers. Not answering greatly reduces scammers.
Everyone who needs me sends a text. If it is something actually important the party in question will send a letter in the mail.
I find this creates a very tranquil environment.

Nah, it's adult now to screen numbers due to the high probability of scams. Source: am adult.

I don't want to give scammers the satisfaction of me even picking up.
it's not satisfaction, it's confirmation that the number is legit and being used. if you answer, you fuck yourself. not answering is the right call.
I do! I say hello and then put the phone on the table and wash some dishes at them until they hang up.
Annoying them and wasting their time is my gift to society.
I get a particular spam call at least once a day. I recently tried answering, setting my phone under a pot, and banging the fuck out of it with a spoon. Modern phones must suppress sudden loud sounds though because all I got was, âI think youâre breaking up, is anyone there?â Highly disappointing.
This is not the best idea, when you answer they know it's a live number. Your number will be sold and before long you'll get even more spam calls. I love the feature on my phone that identifies and blocks spam calls automatically
