My deep and probably founded fear is that I’m on a list of people to scam in 40 years when I’ll be at least mildly demented.

Hopefully my efforts to waste scammers time instead of “just hang up” has got me removed from a few high-value lists.

You think scammers 40 years in the future will use a target list of phone numbers from today?

Why not? People don’t really change their phone numbers much anymore and phone numbers have become increasingly individualized.
