It’s kind of amazing how we’d been answering phones when they rang for a century, until a handful of greedy wankers like these guys and the offshore “calling from Windows” folks started doing their thing a few years ago. Now only the elderly and folks required to answer for work even contemplate picking a call up.
I wouldn’t recommend that. I did it once for the same reason and got just as many spam calls plus debt collectors trying to reach the person who had the number before me.
Yeah I couldn’t bring myself to anyway, I’ve got an “interesting” number (think like 420-6969 but not that) that I wouldn’t want to give up…as if anyone cares about numbers anymore. But it was cool in high school!
I haven’t had a legitimate phone call on my work line in the last 8 years. Anyone who truly needs to talk to me has my cell number and several other ways to contact me.

I got so many spam calls I considered changing the number I’ve had for over 2 decades. So obnoxious.

It’s 531-8008 isn’t it.
I wish
It’s not your number. It’s all the numbers.
I don’t answer my work phone anymore. Our company uses teams. So if it’s not a teams call, you can’t make me answer the phone.
