Yeah I think it's become a nationwide problem. I just ignore them, but it's still annoying.

Yup. If they leave a voicemail that is 2 seconds they get put on the block list.

That's how I've been handling it.

I haven't gotten one in a little while, maybe a few weeks, but I've gone through periods where it was a real issue. At worst I was getting multiple calls a day. If anyone deserves hell, it is these people who put out these spam calls.

I got a call the other day, and caller ID was 666-000-1111. WTF?

It use to be if you didn't answer or end call, the calls would stop. This is non-stop regardless if I answer or not. Maybe i should just answer and waste their time. May be a fun game?

Wait until you get a call from your own number.

I use the spam blocker with true caller. They got a lot better after I started using that.

I read somewhere that shite only happens after joining websites that facilitates affairs.

I'm getting them too, but my phone says the call is coming from Gueydan or Abbeville, so I answer. The telemarketing bastards are getting smarter and smarter!

The problem with this is some legit numbers get blocked by them.

For instance, my student loan company is marked as spam and the calls are blocked. But they're not spam. I assume people not paying their loans kept reporting them as spam.

I got one of those today from "Apple" telling me my Apple devices have been infected with a virus. I needed to call them back and they would lead me through the process of removing the virus.

I'm getting them and when I've been tricked into answering they're automated.
