Read something months ago that the spam callers want to record the voices of people to use in that way.
I don't answer any calls without the caller I.D. of someone I know, or who I know has a reason to be calling.

Wouldn't be surprised if that is an accurate percentage. Everywhere, everyone, trying to cheat customers/clients in some way, more than usual, if they can get away with it.
