You're supposedly able to sue the spam callers for $500-$1500 for each call. Are you on the "Do not call" list?

Here's one guy who sells a "kit" to help collect money from the companies doing this. Doc Compton

I just give them my name, SSN, DOB and passwords and they leave me alone.

If I'm bored, I like answering "yes" to the questions 2 or 3 times until it's obvious that Sanjay gets to his script, and then put the phone down and laugh at them reading the long arse script before saying "hello" and "are you still there" in broken English way too many times in a row before hanging up lol.

I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem... I haven't gotten any spam calls in a long while, and then all of a sudden on Friday, it started ringing off the hook. I got over 20 calls on Friday, then another 10+ each on Saturday and Sunday. I let it ring out and then block the number every time a new one comes in. I did this last time and usually they run out of extensions or variations of the same phone number before I've blocked most of them out.

I'm thinking it has something to do with the recent AT&T data breach.

I always mess back with them. I ask them if they are selling dick pills or if they need some. Next thing you know they get all mad and hung up and they never call back.

They call my work phone all day. When it's a woman I say dirty, sexual things to her. When's it a guy I start talking about blowing out his mom's back. Sometimes I play sex sounds that I find on Spotify. Sometimes I play Indian music. Other times I try to see how far into the script I can go before I call them a dumb arse.

I have a registered website. When you do that, your information becomes public record. I get at least ten calls a day about different programs that I need for my business. (It is just my teacher site.)

I get about 15 a day on my work like and have to answer, with a lot of the time a spoofed number
The recording will say “now i do believe you have medicare part a or b correct?
I say yes
“Perfect, ill transfer you to our licensed agent”
The live person will ask you have part a or b
I say i have part F and U and they cuss me out and I tell them how ashamed their parents must be of them/ they live in a shithole….

On my iPhone13 there is a feature that blocks all calls that are not on my contacts list or to which I have not called. The caller can leave a voice mail message.

My son was getting s shite-ton of spam calls on his phone. He started answering them with "Doofus County Sheriff's Office." It took awhile - at least six months, and a lot of persistence - but the calls dwindled down to maybe two or three a week. I don't know how these people operate, but I guess they have his number marked as law enforcement now.

I got so fed up with them a while back that I changed my phone settings to not accept a call from anyone that's not listed in my contacts. It shows up as a missed call, but does not ring.
