The problem with that is that about 75% of the calls I get have the number
spoofed.  A guy in Bangalore is not calling me from a number in my area
code.  If I block it, I'll be blocking someone who may be legit, and not
the spam caller.

I love getting these calls for extending my auto warranty.  I make them do
the spiel and then tell them I have a 1975 Triumph...

"Oh.  Do you have another vehicle?"

"Yep.  A 1976 Triumph."
