Has anyone been getting a bunch of spam calls?

I keep getting calls and no one answers. And one saying I won a gift card.

Yes, multiple times a day. It's so annoying. It's my business phone and every time I answer its taking time from the job. Everyone wants me to get funding. They want to help me get money from a car accident that I never had. They want me to get coverage if my car breaks down. They are the government telling me I owe them money and want me to buy gift cards to pay my debts. They are social security and they are threatening to cancel my monthly checks that I don't get.
Yeah, I'm getting them all.

Just as a psa, if the ask " can you hear me " never say yes. Just say " I hear you ". They will record your "yes" reply and sign you up for all different types of things that cost you money and they make money

Wow... that's scary

[Sparkie460]

Now you know to be careful what you say when they call

[Asker]

I'ma start singing baby shark

[Sparkie460]

Hahaha. That's different. If I have the time I go along with them and play their game. It wastes their time so it's less people they can call.
I kept one scammer on the phone for almost 2 hours. I had a ball

If you have an iPhone, go to Settings, then scroll down and click on Phone. Once in Phone, scroll down and switch on Silence unknown callers. 😊

See, I can't do that because my phone is a business phone. I get a lot of unknown calls

[comekitty]

Yes, all the time - and sometimes the calls are from my own phone number. There are bizarre texts, too. 🤷‍♀️

[Asker]

Lmao what? Ur own phone number.. I never heard of that.

[comekitty]

[Karen444]

Yes, and it's kind of funny. Why don't the morons answer? lol

[douride2]
