Well it is a decent first level of defense. I usually get foreign country codes. But obviously don't trust local numbers either. Let them introduce themselves (don't introduce yourself) and ask if you can call them back in a minute. In the minute, check if the number is really who they claim to be. Then call the number if it matches and you are interested in the conversation.
