Hi,

I usually just do a two-finger double-tap to cancel the call.  It normally 
works to get you out of the call-back situation, as long as the screen is 
active.  That is, not locked.

  This morning, while unlocking the phone, not knowing there was an alert on 
the lock screen (volume was very low and in a noisy situation), somehow the 
phone went into a loop and I had to reboot it. I could not unlock and go to the 
app switcher to bneak this loop.

  I was concerned that I was returning a call that could have been a scam 
caller. After looking at recents, that proved not to be the case. What I heard, 
with the help of someone nearby was "all circuits busy".

  I'd like to know if there is a better and faster way to deal with this should 
it happen again. I have been getting more and more what I used to think were 
simply wrong numbers but am sure its increasingly scam calls. So I need to be 
certain not to inadvertently do any call backs.
