Too many scam and ad calls

When Hurricane Sandy hit on Long Island, our landline still worked initially, including an old wall phone that had not been used by anyone in years and it was pretty startling to hear it ring.
I agree that the # of robocalls is increasing. With caller ID, never answer the phone as anyone with a valid reason will leave a voice mail.
Before DH retired from Senior Level Federal Service we had a secure phone/fax line in our house in case of national emergency. Literally the only calls we ever received was from people trying to refinance our mortgage, selling solar energy. If it was a person on the line, I would play along assuming that they know who/where they had called and described our house as not needing to refinance our mortgage as it was a very large white house with a very specific address.
