This is why I use a numeric pager, digits handed out to both machines and humans.

I call back from an unlisted number. Few people have my actual phone #.

If people are persistant, I usually mention something to the effect of "you don't want my phone number in your device, I know some weird people."

The first time I used Venmo, was also my last — the "feature" which show you every person who has your phone number in their phonebook was a bit too weird [the idea of public payments also strange].
