> I don't expect scammers to pick up this tactic because it would double their OpEx Except my missed call log is full of back-to-back calls from random phone numbers in my prefix. Either half the folks in Metro NYC (where I haven't lived in over a decade) are calling me to report the other half got hit by a car, or this adaption has already been made.

That's neighborhood spoofing - the prefix may match, but if you're only allowing the exact same number to come through then the call would still be blocked.

Same here, almost every spam call on my list has called again within five minutes, usually as soon as I decline the call.
