They are starting to figure out the default of "Do Not Disturb" if they ring from the same number 3 times in 3 mins the call will be allowed to ring through.
I am on Android or maybe it's my provider.

I installed Robokiller. It blocks 8-10 every day.

Just the other day I had the same number call me 8-10 times in a row. That's on top of all the other spam calls and texts I constantly receive.
I think since our DMV got hacked a couple years ago, we are especially susceptible to these spams.

It's funny because then they either hang up or say "f your mother" which gives me doubt that I actually have a legitimate "senior supervisor" on the line.

I switched from Verizon to AT&T about a month ago and i get like 15 a day now (same phone number) my phone doesn't ring though. I guess they get filtered.

Have any one of you guys had the same spam calls affecting you?
Some of them are the same recording, or variations of the same call.
Yes i get 15-20 a day and even got 3 this past Sunday. I thought Sunday was off limits

Answering the calls make them know you have a live number that will answer, so they mass sell the number.

I got a whistle to blow in their ears.

More texts than calls.
I have a go to midget orgy pic I send back. Or a deeze nuts joke if I have the time. I actually got a LOL reply the other day from what I thought was a bot text. Yeah, its childish and counter productive but so is this place.
I cant wait until I am like 80. Im going to have an entire album of gross obnoxious shite on standby and all the time in the world to frick around when I am not on here blessing all of you with my take on the next coaching search.

I've had good success with Incogni, but silencing unknown callers has cut me to near zero. Somehow (I guess because I have a Spanish keyboard installed on my phone, and I answered one call I thought was a recruiter) I ended up getting harassed by an immigration agency for about five weeks 2-3 times a day.
Changing your phone number is one of the most effective ways to combat SPAM calls. Nobody really knows your phone number anyway.

I miss legit calls and texts all of the time due to the amount of spam I deal with.

They have gotten good at calling from local numbers, knowing your name etc. if you’re putting in that much work to scam , why not get a real job?

For half these fricks in India it is a real job.

I don’t hardly ever get any. Meaning I might get one every couple of months maybe.
Posted on 11/5/25 at 7:07 pm to Tarps99
I answer them so I can hit block....

How are these frickers able to leave voicemail when my phone doesn't even ring and there are no recent calls
Because you probably have a spam blocker on, so it sends them straight to voicemail when they call
