Do you have a landline? I've never got one on a mobile phone, but I used to be inundated with calls on my landline until I bought a Panasonic phone with a call block feature for up to 3000 numbers. (I had the same feature on an older phone, but I used up all 75 number memory slots with numbers I had to block from scammers & 'charities'.)
Some of the caller ID numbers are forged, but at least the one from +1 (234) 567 890 was obviously so.
If you've not seen it before, you might enjoy Troy Hunt's video stringing along one of the scammers:

- garaetjjte 10y agoCaller id on landline?
- SyneRyder 10y agoYup, for a few dollars extra per month (or sometimes for free) Australian telcos will let you see the number of the incoming call. You'll need a handset with a caller ID display, but most modern handsets do.
- nommm-nommm 10y agoYes, caller ID on a landline has been available for at least 20+ years, at least that's about when my parents first got it from what I remember. At first it was a couple dollars extra a month but it's standard now. Also every office phone I've ever had has caller ID.
