    this right here. I stopped getting scam calls years ago, I stopped answering and they just eventually stopped calling. If you don’t interact with the call (interact being ignore it or mute it NOT reject it) and it just goes to voicemail, they seem to eventually stop

      Lucky you. I’ve been letting calls from any number I don’t recognize go to voicemail for years and nothing ever seems to change.

      • Setup a whitelist, I think it’s native on iPhone and there are multiple Android apps. Only calls from your contact list will ring through. My voicemail is, “You’re getting this because you’re not on my contact list, send a text and I’ll get back to you.”

      If you’re job hunting, or work in specific fields this may not be a reasonable thing to do and that’s at least part of the problem.

        This would deem troublesome yea, being said I firmly believe in separating work and home. I wouldn’t be willing to use a personal number for work related activities, at least not public related activities. Being said, I have no good solution for that, at least you are being paid for the scam call I guess.

          Job hunting is what I meant. And you pretty much have to use your personal phone for that. I haven’t ever had a company phone. Doubt they’d give it to techs.
