This may work for you. Get a recording of the phone companies message that you get when you dial a non working number. You know the message, "The number you have dialed is not a working number. Please check the number and dial again or ask your operator for assistance". Use this as you voice machine greeting but be sure to tell your friends so that they can leave a legitimate message after the beep. Wait about 10 or 15 seconds after the message to set the beep.

Do not try to make the mesage yourself and the voice will not be the same as the one used by the phone company and that will be a dead giveway.

I had a former co-worker use this for years before the Do Not Call system went into effect. Worked like a charm.
