In the past two days alone, I’ve gotten over 20 spam calls with none of them leaving a message. Just 3/4 seconds of silence on my voice mail. One call the other day left a 22 second blank message.
I don’t get too much of them. I recently installed Spamblocker from F-droid. It uses a list of reported spammers to warn you that a call might be spam. And it works.
It also helps that I don’t have much family or connections outside the country, so if I see a weird countrycode I already know it is BS.
And I just don’t get called very often. Luckily I am in Europe, which means that if I leave my number with a company so they can call me, they cannot sell that number to anyone else.
I think over the last 5 years I’ve had maybe 6 calls? Something like that. I immediately know what is up and don’t even pick up.
What phone os do you have?
For me android automatically blocks 90% of spam calls nowadays. I can see them in the phone history, but my phone don’t ring for them.
No, but I’m curious, do you order online a lot, where you have to provide a number they can put on the package? I assume someone along the way makes money on the side by collecting/sharing these numbers. But maybe that’s just my paranoia.
Yeah and I can’t block them because the number changes slightly, probably using virtual numbers.
No
