That would suck, but fear of that scenario isn't enough to make me answer my phone for spammers 5 times a day.

Also, I'd hope they'd have the initiative to leave both a voicemail and an SMS.

Especially with a service like Google Voice that will transcribe your voicemails. I will look at those; it takes a fraction of a second to dismiss the spam.

Fortunately, I only get a few of those a week, so far.

Check your spam folder. I find Google voice itself is pretty good at blocking spam calls/messages/texts.
