      To me it sounds like OP’s opener is exactly for people who aren’t contacts saved in his phone. It sounds perfect to me

          20 years ago, yes

          These days, the only people who call me are creditors (who aren’t supposed to) and scammers

          If you just add "hi’ to the beginning then it’s a perfect middle. “Hello, who is this?” Nothing is better than letting it go to voicemail, but sometimes you’re in a situation where you might be expecting a call from an unknown number

      The only folk who have trouble identifying themselves when calling my private phone, are spammers.
