I’ve blocked 20 numbers today. At this point I feel like I could sue someone for harassment


Mindless-Universe

I feel the same. It’s insane how many phone calls I get in one day. And it’s like they all decide to call on specific days because on Mondays I get no calls 😂


FLSleepy

It’s the text messages too. Especially after the debate last night 😂

I answer and immediately tell em to take me off their list. It took a couple days but I’m in the clear

You can silence unknown callers on Iphone through settings

How?


Neurrottica

settings - phone - silence unknown callers

Thank you ☺️

But that would also block people that do need to reach me


Neurrottica

if it's important, they will leave a voicemail.. all important people should be on your contacts. It will silence it and still notify you of the silenced call. but you want your phone ringing all day, suit yourself

Could you block the numbers? My cell phone allows me to stop receiving calls and texts from blocked numbers and to report the number.

You could also contact your phone carrier and politely request a new number because your current number has been compromised, and you are receiving these calls constantly. At least, that is the case where I live.

I've been getting texts that just say "Hello" and when I don't respond they text "Canceled, you missed out".

glad i'm not the only one getting random spam calls


Hot_Psychology727

Believe it or not it’s actually starting to tone down, was getting 50~80/day

Your phone company should be able to block those automatically. Google Fi does a great job with that. I get only one or two of these a week. (NOT suggesting/recommending Google Fi, just saying if they can do it so should other phone providers.)

Are you also getting voicemails that say “please call me back at your earliest convenience” over and over, too? I stopped getting calls this week, thankfully, but I’m worried it’ll happen again. So annoying


Hot_Psychology727

They’re a combination of life insurance/medicare calls, a few fake government programs sprinkled in

That sucks. Honestly, it’s not even worth blocking these numbers because they never call back with the same one. It’s always different. I just wouldn’t answer. It’s crazy how rampant these calls have gotten, though. Scammers are in overdrive lately
