I get 3-6 spam calls a day these days. It has increased from 0-2 a day last year, and 1-2 a week before that. It’s getting to the point where I dread my phone ringing. I can’t ignore unknown numbers because I’m getting ongoing medical treatment from half a dozen different specialists who all call from unknown numbers, and also have kids so can regularly get calls relating to their schooling etc from unknown numbers.<p>The more recent calls (last 6 months) have also started spoofing local area codes with valid numbers, whereas before this they always came through either as unknown or an international number which were at least a clearer sign that it’s “possibly” a spam call.<p>It’s infuriating. Something needs to change.
