I still get some occasionally, but now it's three or four a week as opposed to perhaps a dozen or more a day like a few years ago. Mostly they were from spoofed legit numbers with my area code and prefix, and it got so bad that I finally had to turn my ringer off at work. I must have blocked over a hundred numbers before I finally got Robokiller. It doesn't get them all, but it ended that bullshit in a hurry.

I really hope there is a special level of hell for these ****ers.

I believe that place is called India ,lol sorry i couldnt help with that one.

I have over 500 numbers blocked now. It's just crazy.

I got a call from my own damn number. Sneaky bastids!! :mad:

I was an Android user, specifically the Nexus and then the Pixel phones from Google, for more than a decade until 2021. Google has some software that blocks spam calls from even ringing your phone. No freaking clue how it works, but I swear to god I would get less than 5 spam calls/year.

And I never really appreciated it until I switched to an iPhone. I don't get nearly then amount the OP is talking about, but it's more like 5-6 a week rather than an entire year. It's completely annoying and maddening. One of the many things I miss about having an Android but I assume it's proprietary in some way bc I don't think other OS or manufacturers have figured it out.

So there was a law change apparently last year. Short version of it is that if you make outbound phone calls to multiple numbers (don't know the threshold) and they appear to come from the same phone #, legitimate or not, it will show as SPAM.

We have this issue with our business. Same caller outbound caller ID for thousands of customers; all of our calls are marked as SPAM now.

It's stupid.

Our phone system allows this. :):)

This

It is pretty easy for me to identify spam calls down here, as most of them come from the numerous different area codes up there, since my number is still the one I had up there with a 630 area code.

For some reason the previous two weeks was relentless with them, but I must have gotten them all blocked, as it has stopped.


If a call comes in with the 417 area code, it has always been legit so far.

The amount of bullshit calls I am fielding on our company's RingCentral number is staggering.

Like 30-40 a day

Can you have that changed if you prove that you're a legitimate business?

Yes, but it's a process. And even if it's done correctly, there is a chance that we'll end up back on the list.

I've been getting dozens a day for months. It's making me want to invade India to shut these ****ers down. I have 2, TWO, spam blockers on my phone and they still sneak one through occasionally

same, i just have a message that says due to spam calls, please leave a message with your name and reason for calling, or text me with your name and reason for calling.
