Same here. I don't get as many on my home phone as I do on my business line. Some of the calls show as a local # of someone I know. When I answer I say hello and if they don't answer right away I hang up. Problem with my business line is that I don't have caller ID on it (phone company wanted $16 per month!) so I let all calls go to voice mail. It tells them to go to my website (they have to end up there anyway). I may lose a customer occasionally, but if they can't follow instructions I don't know if want them anyway.
The scam is when a caller asks you 'can you hear me' never answer yes. They will record it and use it to obligate you for something you didn't want.
