Unless I am job-hunting or otherwise expecting a call from someone I don't know, I never answer a call from a number I don't recognize. Problem largely solved.
This isn't calls I have answered. It's calls I've placed to legitimate numbers that somehow get redirected to the scammers.

It happened again today, for the first time in about two years. I was calling a toll free number I've never called before and the call got redirected to the same free cruise scammers.
Someone here already suggested that I'm somehow fumbling and misdialing the number. I could see something like that happening once if the number was similar to the one being called. But what are the chances that someone would misdial to that very same number while attempting to call various other numbers?
These scammers can't rely on people just accidentally calling them. And no one will intentionally call them.
