My web provider is missing a ton of spam emails over the last few months are they sleeping at the wheel or are others getting the same BS everyday? That and that woman keeps calling me about my truck warranty 3X a week.

I've gotten alot of BS calls lately . I don't answer my phone anymore unless I know who it is

It should be illegal

I wish I could do that but I get a lot of skunk calls I’d be missing.

And I thought this post was about one of my favorites for sandwiches--Spam by the wave full. Pork at one of its best.

Yeah, I've notice the scammers are now using local area codes now to trick you into answering..

Grumley,they have been doing that for a long time around here. My wife and I call them calls. Usually get several a day.

I didn't know it until recently but there are programs that allow you to route your call through them and it show up as any number you want it to. I learned of this when my wife got a call on her cell phone that showed it was from her own number. Now that truly should be illegal when you think about the possible ramifications of it.

Me too.

I have mostly stopped answering my phone around lunch and dinner time. Most of the calls around then are robocalls for vehicle and appliance warranties, donations to police, veterans and fire departments and free health club memberships.

Been about a year or so here when I noticed it here, the only people I feel totally fine being as rude and nasty as I can be to is scammer calls... a bit of guilty pleasure for me.

Put a blocker app on my phone. It doesn't ring unless the caller is in my contacts list. I see its blocked 3 calls already today. It takes them to my voicemail where they can leave a message if its not a junk call. It'll block texts too the same way. Some smart phones have this feature built in. It's so nice.

I thought it was a new Monty Python skit...

I get folks asking if I called them I tell them the spam clowns are spoofing numbers is all, most get it some don’t.

Me neither. I figure if it's someone I know, they'll leave a message.

On day my phone rang and when I looked to the number it was me. I kid you not, my number. I had to answer just to see what I wanted!

Are you guy getting these span calls on cell phones or land lines? I get maybe two or three spam calls a year on my cell phone; no land line in years.
Send some of the shysters' my way, I love messing with them.

Both,several a week on land line and several a week on cell phones. Some days it may be a half dozen or more.

yes

I tell them I'm dying of a horrific disease and they hang up.
