Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Jun-03-22 01:53 PM

no matter how many I block they keep coming.

13461844, Yes and they fall into 3 categories for me:

1. They are in Spanish.
2. They are in Mandarin.
3. They are to renew a car warranty.

13461845, If I answer I dont say anything

>If I answer I dont say anything
>then they just hang up
I usually say hello once or twice before hanging up if no one says anything but lately I've been getting calls from out of state but they never say anything, so I hang up.
I would get pissed but I only get a spam call once a day, I've already block quite a few of them which ends up filling up my mailbox in a week & I don't know it's full until a friend calls me telling me they tried to leave a message but couldn't.

13461851, You must have picked up

They know you got an active number, so they work it more.
If you don't answer for while, they'll die down a bit

13461852, didn't know that. i avg 1 or 2 "possible spam" calls a week
Posted by Mynoriti, Fri Jun-03-22 02:53 PM
sometimes 3, sometimes none
i never answer calls i don't recognize. but i have friends and fam who say they get these warranty and other bs calls multiple times daily.
that said, got one an hour ago that said it was from Jamaica lol

13461871, I never pickup and I get the warranty call a lot

I used to get a call about debt or student loan debt but now it is for a warranty. I never pickup but I read the transcribed voice message they leave.
|
13461872, Since I installed this call screening app, I’ve blocked 661 numbers.

Car warranty services, people calling and texting “Veronica” to purchase a property I don’t own, and the ones with no answer. My mom updated her resume on LinkedIn and recruiters were calling my number to talk to her.
If I weren’t in this first time homeowner program, I wouldn’t answer any of them. I definitely don’t answer potential spam but the ones that show as legit numbers I make the mistake of picking up.

13461877, Only 967 so far. Gainin' on ya tho.

I've gotten alotta WhatsApp spam lately. Like every other day. Idk what's up w/ that.

13461900, ha.. I meant area code but you aren’t lyin’
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Jun-06-22 07:28 AM
every so often I have a call from a random number that I’m expecting and I’m sure picking up hasn’t helped.
I’m blocking numbers but they keep em coming

13461897, I used to, now I just get tons of spam texts.
Posted by KnowOne, Mon Jun-06-22 06:51 AM
Not sure which is more annoying
|
13461943, I do, but I figured it was 'cause of my area code (704)
Posted by tully_blanchard, Mon Jun-06-22 06:41 PM
The kids area code is 980..you in the area so maybe thats why that particular area code...?
Im assuming people here are getting the same amount but with 404 or 678?
but I could be 1000% wrong too, lol
