Delete & Report Spam – Block & Report Junk

I am sick of getting 5-10 spam calls a day saying I am eligible for a personal loan, business line of credit, etc. I have it set not to ring if an unknown number, but it is still irritating as they leave a voice mail (AI). The Report Spam and Junk options are not slowing them down.
FYI – I use an I phone and ATT is my carrier.
I guess they are cycling through available phone numbers ( as they come from all over the country, including Canada)?
Is there an app or something that will shut this crap down?
They need to make a law that will put these bastards in jail.

I get calls for a Sarah F who owes a lot of people a lot of money… I’ve had this number since 2005 and if I ever find Sarah F I will beat her arse black and blue.
*sigh* I feel better now, thank you.

Have you gotten the one saying for a limited time we can help you eliminate the tax issue you have with the IRS....all you have to do is punch 2 to speak with an agent of punch 9 to be removed from their list.

iPhone Call Screening and Live Voicemail are built-in features that help you filter spam and manage calls from unknown numbers. This has been a total game changer for me when it comes to spam calls.
Settings > Apps > Phone > Toggle on "Live Voicemail" and select "Ask Reason for Calling" under the Screen Unknown Callers section.
When a number is not saved in my phone, my IPhone will ask the caller for the reason and transcribe it in real time allowing me to make a real time determination whether I pick up the phone or not. If you pick up before they end the call (in the middle of them explaining why they are calling), you can talk to them right then.
This is what it looks like when someone explaining why they are calling:

I was getting 25-30 spam calls a day. Downloaded the AT&T Active Armor app and now only 1 or 2 calls a day get through.

Ban all traffic from India
Double points for ruining all the offshoring companies did

Need to go after the carriers. Verizon, AT&T, etc clearly do not give a shite even though they could probably stop some of it.
Loans, insurance, political ad bs.

I used to get spam calls from indians trying to sell my medicare or diabetes supplies. I'd hang up, play along, and/or blow a whistle in the receiver until I silenced unknow callers. That stopped it. frick these people.

Something like clokeme or incogni to help remove your info online.
Also, use the Apple hide my email feature whenever possible. And don’t use your real phone number when buying/signing up for things from stores.

I enjoy being solicited by spam calls. It’s how I make new friends. The callers seem to like me, unlike most TD.com’rs

I'll go periods without them, like weeks. Then randomly hammered for a week, and the cycle repeats.

I use my cell for my business, so I get a lot of legit calls from numbers I don't recognize.
But the spam has gotten out of control between the calls and the multiple text messages.
Every bogus text I receive, I report it as spam. But I don't think that does much.
When I get a spam phone call that I inadvertently answer, I put the phone on speaker next to the radio and blare heavy metal or gangsta rap into it. It gives me a little bit of joy hearing the scamming Indian say "Hello? Saar? Hello? Helllloooooooo?"
If we quarantined India, life in this country would improve ten-fold.

I miss when it wasn't AI and recordings. I used to love messing with indians.

They might have enough samples of your voice by now to spoof calls using your voice.
