im at my wits end

it started last summer, almost overnight i was getting 15 to 20 spam/scam calls per day. I already know what most would suggest, block unknown numbers or dont answer the ones with no caller id. The problem is i have a small business I i rely on those unknown numbers to keep the business going. Most of the numbers are spoofed local numbers. i get how it works if you answer the system tells all the spam/scammers its a live number and the calls continue and even increase. i put my number in the Do not call data base that obviously did little, ive tried several different spam blocking aps like this one. nothing is working the calls keep comong. im

    man I've been doing a few different times I signed up for a car insurance cheap and I'm getting hundreds of calls from random area codes that I don't even know places that I didn't even know that existed being charged two cents per attempt of international charge too it is absolute ridiculous I hope this app helps out a lot I've been on the do not call registry since last year of this date I even double verified today I left probably 40 different reports of spam calls and then I reported it on this service cuz I used to use this service back in the old days I sure hope everything helps out a lot on here

    What I do is give out a Google Voice number. That does some screening, and no calls are answered live. If it is a legitimate call, the caller will leave a voice message. The voice message is transcribed well enough to send me an e-mail with the full message. (All of this costs $0 and requires basically no setup.) If a number is in my Google Contacts, it forwards the call to my primary phone number, and I can choose to answer. TrueCaller is set to block any number that I don't have stored to catch the rest of the garbage. I turn that off on a temporary basis if expecting a call in a short window (medical appointment, delivery driver, etc.).

    I know exactly what you mean, brother. I used to get about the same number of spam calls every day until I started using this app. Now I let the AI assistant answer my calls first, and once I know what the call is about, I decide whether to pick up. Ever since I downloaded it, it's practically eliminated those annoying spam calls. It's been a game changer for me.

    Do you go online and check you credit score often, I had the same problem then realized everytime I logged into credit karma it happens ALOT more. They sell your info and then you get pinged, price of being a "free service". I stopped using credit karma barely ever and it has gone way down, just for now just keep blocking them, thats about all you can do.
