Comment on Are any calls without caller ID legit?

From Canada: I get legit calls from private numbers. Usually it is based on something I have inquired previously about, by phone, text message, webform or email.
Random non-scam cold calls have been largely: surveys (a federal election is coming), requests to donate places from places I’ve donated to before, telecom companies I have ditched begging me to come back. But anything that begins with an automated sounding message I just hang up immediately.

I used to set my phone as a private number. I’d have to call customers sometimes to confirm times or discuss jobs, but most customers didn’t need access to my direct number and we’d rather them contact the office than contact me directly.
