Installed TrueCaller on Friday, got two spam calls today.
Good to know. I'm not sure if anything can block the spoofers. It will probably take an act of Congress to get the landline, cellular and VoIP carriers to install technology to block or identify spoofing.
Yeah that's what they were. Calling from my hometown area code and same next 3 digits of my cell provider. Fuckers.
I’ll go days/weeks at a time without receiving any. Then over a few day span I’ll have 9-10.
The last one I had was last Tuesday. Same number the 3rd time that day. I engaged for a bit before telling them if they called back I would take legal action, as it was the 4th time I’ve asked not to be contacted.
I of course had no plans for this, and not sure I even had grounds to take any action even if I wanted. But it was pretty funny to listen to this guy stumble through an explanation and apologize thinking he was gonna get whoever he was working for busted lol.
Got one today.
Might look at basically blocking the 10,000 numbers that have the same first 6 digits as me. You can do this with TruCaller.

I don't answer these, but I've been thinking about getting a recording of that old school fax tone and just playing that. If their computers identify it as a fax number, maybe it gets deleted from their calling lists.

I like it.
