The phone gives a message that you have to press 1 to reach someone. This eliminates also all robocalls. The ones that do get through I let my voice mail handle it and they usually hang up. On my cellphone, unless the number being called from is in my contacts list, the phone will screen the call and alert me whether it's a "scam." If it's someone I know they'll leave a voice mail.
