I cannot attest as an expert, but I learned something about your phone carrier would actually be punished by the FCC for not connecting the call of a scammer. It’s possible your carrier knows it’s fishy but has to let it through due to large government getting in it’s own way.

I heard carriers let them through because their spam call filtering service was a cash cow (i.e. they didn't have to let them through, otherwise no anti spam service could exist from them, they maybe did have to by default, but could have offered the service free with opt-in and advertised it). https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls...
