Older people do this a lot. Either their full name, or “Lastname residence”
The scary thing these days is that someone needs just a few samples of your voice to be able to clone it using AI. I suspect that scammers will do that, if they’re not already doing it, then use it to scam family members. We’re going to get to a point where we can’t trust people are who they say they are.
I don’t know if this is still accurate, but I have a friend who used to answer calls from unknown numbers with “hello, this is First name Lastname.”
I don’t even answer calls from unknown numbers. His approach boggled my mind, in part because of what you just said.
