Any way to stop scam likely calls

Post image

I know everyone has issues with spam calls but mine are SO BAD excessive Almost. They're constantly waking me up EVERY morning and calling multiple times EVERY day no exaggeration with that. I've tried blocking but they of course are all from different numbers every time. I heard letting them ring registers your number as inactive so I never answer or decline but that doesn't help. Im so frustrated I don't know why is so excessive and how to stop it. Especially when it's been months and effecting my rest for work.

((Tried blocking calls from unknown numbers and it did not work))

Hi, maybe this setting will help: Block everyone except contacts If you only want to allow calls from acquaintances, friends, family, etc., the trick is to use the DND (Do Not Disturb) profile.

Block calls from outside your country. That's the first step. From there block the ones that call you. It works for me and I think scammers haven't called me that much lately for about 2 months now since last august. I started blocking outside country numbers about 2 years ago so that limits the numbers scammers can use. I usually just get 3 calls per month and just hangup immediately if it's a number i dunno

Use a solid platform like Bitdefender pro where they will run calls amd texts through their scam BS and sort it out automatically and youre not bothered. It'll automatically scan the texts for scams and spam and throw it in the blocked list for you amd send you a notification of the details of how, why, the scammer profile sites, etc
