I have Verizon cell phone service. The volume of ‘suspected spam’ calls has skyrocketed lately. It’s anyone’s guess why. This list (above) is just from today. (October 30th, 2024). I block each number, and they call back from another;
Is anyone else getting these calls?
All of the calls - from any of these numbers - go like this:
”Hello - To speak to sales, press 1; to be removed from our list press #2.”
Then, NO matter which one you press, the voice says ‘GOOD BYE!’- like they hate you.
That’s just my cell phone. My landline (Spectrum service) takes the cake for 70% spam or ‘strange’ calls.. For example, in the kitchen one evening we were talking about the time years ago, when I was in the US Army Combat Medicine corps, in Liverpool NY. My unit would do joint exercises with a helicopter evacuation unit out of Bangor Maine. Any of us combat medics who wished to, could climb into a helicopter and get a free ride over NY’s 1000 Islands, and ‘Alexandria Bay’.
I think that was the first time we ever talked about that..
Just then our home phone rang. When I picked it up, the Caller ID Screen said.. ‘Alexandria Bay, NY’..
No body was there..
Can anyone recommend a spam blocking service?
We have a CPR CallBlocker V5000 on our landline -- it displays the caller number as the call is incoming -- if it is unrecognizable, you push the large red button that is labeled, "BLAOCK NOW" and it becomes one of the growing list of calls that will then not go through in the future. You can also go back through calls attempted and block after the fact, if desired. We've had it only a few months and now have 323 numbers blocked.
We carry 4G flip phones so limited utilities, and we're on consumer cellular (Verizon brand phones - free switch) so we get few, if any spam calls.
Of course, what it sounds like you're getting are intentional harassment calls.
For that kind of a problem, I'd be definitely looking to apply spiritual prayer power.
No fix they're calling from Africa, Nigeria or Ghana. I also get daily 'you have won a prize from blah blah.
