Due to the spam and my move across the country I never answer numbers matching my area code and only answer calls from my contact list or from random area codes I am unfamiliar with.

If a number is like xyz--* where xyz is my area code odds are its not legit.

I've got a phone number from New Jersey, but moved across the country years ago, never changing my number. I get calls from New Jersey all the time.. I haven't lived there in over 5 years.. no business in NJ, why would they be calling me?

Call Me Private (https://callmeprivate.com) was intended for the purposes of actually receiving calls that I want to receive because I am the one giving out that virtual number. If someone is calling it, than I know someone else gave it out or I keep track of what website or who I gave it to.. and this way I have an idea of what and who the "leak" was.
