"Unknown Caller" and Spam Calls

[Reverie]

I keep getting all these spam calls recently, but now it has transitioned to "Unknown Caller" kind of creeps me out because I think it must be the same person calling me over and over and they never leave any voice mails.

Do you get any spam calls/unknown callers? Do you ever answer them?

Not as much as I used to. It's mostly people from India wanting my social security number. I mark those people as spam and add them to my blocked list.

Nope if I get a call from an unknown caller or even spammers I don't answer it.

Those are the only calls I ever get anymore.. Everyone else knows to just text me unless it's an emergency lol.

I get spam callers all the time, most of the time they have a number that pops up but every once in a while I'll get a unknown number try to call me. I never pick up any spam calls, I let it ring and I'll look up the number then I'll block them if I know it's a scam.

I have an app installed that lets me know who is calling even if the number is not saved in my contacts. It's called "Truecaller". The app also highlights how many people have reported the numbers as spam/scam calls. If I don't identify the person, I just don't take the call. No matter how many times they call.

I don’t really answer almost any phone calls lol, but if an unknown number calls me a couple times and doesn’t leave a voicemail I just block it.
Most people I know just text me and if it’s not important enough to leave a voicemail I’m gonna assume it’s just spam

Unless I'm expecting a call from an unknown number, I don't answer calls from unknown numbers.

Do you ever mess with them for fun?

Spammers and scammers here now use spoofing technology that makes the call appear to come from a legit mobile phone number. If I don’t recognize the number I don’t answer anymore. If it’s legit and important they’ll leave a message.
