Can confirm, being also a (not-that-young-anymore) German. Scam calls or phone marketing is very seldom here. I always assumed this is due to strict laws in Germany.
Another thing is also that most people I know no more publish their telephone number in a (public) phone book, as it used to be still common 30 years ago. That's something where you easily can grab tons of private information from. How common are phone books in the US?

- MiddleEndian 7y agoPhone books are supposedly common in parts of the US but they do not publish cell phone numbers. It's also illegal to telemarket to a cell phone. Of course, nothing is done when phone providers knowingly forward said illegal phone calls to cell phones anyway.
