Roughly a week ago, I started to received an accelerated amount of spam phone calls to my cell phone, sometimes 15-20 per day. My cell number must be getting sold over and over since the spam calls are coming from many different states and different numbers in repeat states. There are even calls that are off by one number from my cell number. Many times these calls come around dinner time or sometimes when I happen to leave my phone in another room and then I have to quickly get to the phone, just in case it is an important call and not spam.
In our line of work we rely on working with new people so answering a phone call is important for new business. Luckily there are some that are not spam.
The only good thing about this is, the caller ID is helping me avoid such incoming calls because it will display words like….Spam, Telemarketer, Unknown or Probably Fraud.
Yesterday I decided to silence my ringer and check my cell visually to see if there are non spam calls. My phone is an Android and I do not know what to do at this point.
Have you experienced this sort of barrage of spam calls? If yes is there a way to stop it? Thank you.
