The amount of spam calls I get is absolutely mind blowing

[Mikey P]

Is there any solution to slow it down even somewhat?

 

[Nomad74]

No kidding, it's constant. I'm at the point now if I don't recognize the number I don't answer. Glad I have the luxury of being busy enough to let most of my calls go to voicemail.

 

[Mikey P]

What's frustrating is that legit callers are marked as spam and most of them are in my own area code..


I made the mistake of messing with one today and they called back relentlessly over and over and over so I had to take the time to block her..

 

[Kenny Hayes]

You can’t block most!!! The have millions of numbers!!!

Verizon put a spam blocker on my phone. It identifies probably 75 % of spam calls for me. A lot still get through but NOTHING like it used to be.

 

[Rick J]

yep,

I don't answer any more either, if I don't know the number. But , like Mike call them back later. And, have done the same thing, recalling it over, and over. But, usually I get a message that it is a non-working number.

How does that happen, how do they do it?

I get several calls and tons of emails.

I’ve always been super slow in late August and early September and it’s always amazed me how the telemarketers seem to know that.

It’s horrible! I get between 10 and 30+ every day now. It comes and goes over time, but they’ve been relentless this year.

I too have taken to simply returning calls, but I let people know why when I return the call. All my regular clients have been informed and totally get it.

It would be a major problem for guys just starting out.

[Kenny Hayes]

How come the calls are coming from Greece and Russia?
