    Right, but why pick up the phone at all? Simply answering marks you down on their list as an active number even if you don’t say anything. Even turning down the call is enough to let them know there’s a human on the other end. I’ve heard the best thing to do is let it ring so they think its dead.

    At least that’s my assumption. So maybe I’m wrong (though the part about letting it ring out is true, I believe)

      I don’t received that much fish phone number, but as much as I receive legitimate call from unknown number (my bank, a friend who changed their list, etc.)
