Spam callers have basically ruined telephone as a medium. For many, a phone call is more likely to be fake and spam than it is to be legitimate. And even if the call claims to come from a source you might trust, good odds it’s spoofed and thus cannot in fact be trusted.
A shame on telecoms for not being willing to tackle the problem.
Job hunting is the worst. I have to answer every single call for a while knowing full well it’s probably a telemarketer but not having any other choice.
How many of you have received these calls? I got a ton of them along with my husband and siblings.
Those were partly the reason I stopped answering unknown numbers.

Same, the only time I answer my phone is when I want to mess with the spammers.
I’ve started forwarding the calls to Google voice or if i accidentally pick the call, i use bixby’s auto answer.
Either eay the call drops in a hot second.
