Either you really messed up with who you shared your number with,
and/or you're answering more than 0% of unknown callers, validating the line,
or someone has intentionally signed you up for marketing lists.
This is an insane situation to consider dealing with. I have three to five phone lines depending, less than 3 spam calls total per month.
- awithrow 3y agoI'm in the same boat of spam calls. The majority are looking for the previous owner of the number (debt collectors). The thing is I've had this number for well over any sort statute of limitations on debt. In the past I considered getting a new number but that would also be a giant pain. There also wouldn't be any guarantee that the new number wasn't in the same boat
- aidenn0 3y agoThat's between two lines; there are certain area codes that for personal reasons I basically have to answer. As an aside: Android's "Suspected Spam caller" is incredibly inaccurate; with the huge storm last weekend, the emergency alert was flagged this way, and actual spam calls often aren't.
- DANmode 3y agoIf one of those areas codes is the same as the area code in your number, you're just plain screwed! Can't answer the calls, ever, or you're "marked" - simple as that. Really sorry to hear this. Since you mentioned not enjoying it, and for the reader in a similar situation, a suggestion: use an internet number, with totally different area code from your received calls, so you have a prayer.
