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.
