You can still

1. Ignore voice messages

2. Ask pointed questions to any live caller, esp. one calling from a new number and asking for money...



So now scammers will have to first scrape your & your families social media, then run that through ChatGPT to answer any questions.


Let the games begin.


The one earnest question that will ALWAYS make scammers hang up immediately:

"In case we get cut off, what phone number can I call you back on?"

If they actually give you a number instead of hanging up (which has NEVER happened in the many times I've used this line), just hang up immediately and call them back, to see if they answer.
