My Google phone warns me of suspected spam calls. When it does so I have the choice of "Screening" the call, blocking it, or answering it. If I select "Screen" the caller hears
"Hi. The person you are calling is using a Google screening service. Please say your name and the reason you are calling. The person will get a recording and transcript of what you say." Or words to that effect. Almost nobody leaves a message. --- Frank C.
