I don't say anything when answering an unknown number. Real callers will always have some background noise, while spammers will be dead quiet and only assign a scammer to talk to you once you trigger the mic.

Useful for when unknown callers are expected - applying for jobs, etc.

I noticed as well that don't saying anything helps.
