joel9507New junk-caller approach: "Hey, this is Steve, I'll be in your area and wanted to call before I stopped by"
Well, "Steve", thanks for the voice message.
However
a) I don't know a Steve,
b) I don't recognize your phone number (nor does Google),
c) your canned message didn't mention the name of anyone living here, ....aaaand
d) you didn't leave your reason for 'stopping by'
Why do I think you are a junk caller?

bertoI'll make an appointment for Steve to meet me at some liquor store address in the deepest hood. Have fun Steve.

GeorgeairGo with reverse of our approach when the obnoxious lady misdialed the cable company; "They are on your street right now, can't find the house. Please go outside and wave them down!"
Maybe Steve is that guy who was just convicted for robocalls, starting over from prison.
