It's usually a scam recording.

    Law and order enforcement is very bad in this country. Phone scammers have been operating with impunity for many decades and that's why this crime does nothing but increase and spread to countries all over the world.

    mundame. Don't need to do anything when you see an unfamiliar number, than silencing the ring tone. Let them call again, and label their number as SPAM.

    Or, you can make up you RECORDING for calls to say.
    "You have reached........
    " If I didn't call you, or I don't know you!. Don't call again! unless it an actual EMERGENCY!"

    Good advice if we used cell phones --- you are so modern.

    We really only use the landline, unless there is a car emergency, so it's more difficult. I swear, there are times I have decided to unplug that phone, and I may yet.
