    No. This is how you avoid the problem.

    “Lemme call you back in 5 because <some excuse>”

    If you’d lend them money you’ll have their contact info. Go get a different phone and call them.

      You’re not wrong but it’s going to take a long time for “that relative that is calling could be someone else” to be something that people actually think about. Simple to execute your solution but 99% of the people out there won’t even consider the possibility.
