re: Has anyone else been relentlessly hammered with spam calls this week?

Well don't waste time blocking the numbers because they will just spoof numbers.. And referring to what I said in my last post, its completely legal for people to call and talk people into giving them their money including people who are vulnerable.

I've been using the line "I have PTSD and ringing phones trigger the shite out of me" and so far only one same # has called back. That went well.

They have hammered me relentlessly for months. Sometimes I like talking with them and keeping them from messing with other people. I have no life.

Sign up for a service like delete me or something. If you have Nord VPN they offer a similar service too.
It will drastically reduce your spam calls. I might get 5/6 a week and it seems it’s only the “we’ve updated your business loan…” that Apple spam catches, but even that one comes and goes.

They really ramped up the past 10 days or so. I have filtering on and it’s just the same voicemail multiple times a day. I don’t need a damn loan.
I get so many of these my voicemail fills up if I don’t stay on top of deleting

Mine want to talk to me about the loan I applied for.
Every single day
Every single day

I get the loan one a lot too.
I installed active armor and it has blocked 264 calls in the last 30 days. I still get some that make it thru but where it was 8-12 a day now it’s only 2-3.

It had gotten relentless and unbearable earlier this year. Most of it was "Our records show you are were in an accident within the past two years and have not been properly compensated," and "Our records show that you are not receiving all the benefits your are entitled to in Medicare Parts A and B..."
1) I have had no accidents in the last several years
2) I'm still a bit too young to be using Medicare or Medicaid
3) Absolutely NO ONE with a heavy pajeet accent like that is named Michael or Kevin. (I can't wait for the day when one calls and says his name is Braxton.)
I finally gave in and tried "Cloaked" in an effort to try to alleviate the constant distraction. It was around a hundred bucks for a year's worth of monitoring various databases and removing my contact information from them. Yeah, I had an extra hundred that I figured I'd gamble on it, so I tried it.
I still get three or four calls from the little Hindu (or Muzzie) bastards during a day, but it's no where near the thirty or so that had been blowing up my phone daily.
I'm not pitching Cloaked by any means. I believe there are probably a few more lesser known data-wiping services out there as well (and they might be better at it). Obviously they don't stop ALL the incoming bullshite, but it does seem to have significantly lessened the frequency and constant hammering by these flea-infested, goat humpers.
Oh yeah, one more...
"I am calling to ask you if you are interested in selling your property at 362 Summit Ridge Drive, in ....."
Yeah. I sold that place more than two years ago to get away from Atlanta. That tells you how old these data bases are that these H1B-types are using to build their scams.
If only there were a way to reach through a phone and strangle someone...

Hammered .........no, I was completely sober when this happened.
Posted on 8/8/26 at 8:07 am to VolsOut4Harambe
I created a free Google voice phone number, and I use that for any application that requires a phone number, online or not.
So when I hit the occasional a-hole who puts my contact info into distribution lists, the resulting calls go to the Google line.

Anyone that gets scammed by an red dot Indian deserves it. Legit businesses don't call you to lower your interest rates, decrease your cable bill, or review your Medicare benefits. Medicare and Marketplace enrollment period is 15 Oct to 15 Jan. You can't just modify or change your plans on a when.
Damn people are stupid! And they breed and vote.

Not many spam calls, but I do get tons of spam e-mails. I'm not in any kind of business operating over the computer and I generally delete damn near 200 e-mails a week.
That may be normal this day and age, but I find it excessive.

No but please tell me how to do it.

To set up call filtering on your iPhone, open Settings, tap Apps, and select Phone. Scroll to Screen Unknown Callers or Call Filtering to choose options like Ask Reason for Calling or Silence to automatically manage calls and voicemails from unsaved numbers.

If I'm bored, I'll answer yes when they ask me if I'm the business owner and then let them read their long arse script and ultimately call them a dumbass or stupid motherfricker after the third or fourth time they ask "hello?" and then hang up. It's a nice cheap dopamine hit.

I get about 5-7 per day about my loan that I applied for that I was recent approved.
It’s annoying as shite.

Yes I have been inundated with spam calls this week. More so than usual.
