Exactly. The only way it seems to combat it is to block all calls that are not from numbers in my contact list. But then I end up with dozens of 2 second voicemails from random local numbers.

I've noticed that the number of "local number" scam calls I receive has dropped sharply (I live in NYC). A few months ago I'd sometimes get several a day, now it's maybe one every couple of weeks. Maybe as more people learn about the scam and it gets less effective, the scammers move on to other things.
