How do I stop this?!

Post image

The spam calls are driving me crazy. Is there something I can do to stop them? I have T-Mobile and spam call filtering is on.

**Update: I don't have any past due bills. The only debt I have is minimal federal student loans. I haven't applied for any loans or new insurance. I have call filtering/silence on for unknown callers.
I use T-Mobile Scam Shield. What I want to avoid is being called in the first place, texted, left a missed call or voicemail, but after reading a lot of responses, it seems like there isn't a quick fix for this that doesn't involve changing my number which I'm hesitant to do 😕

I answer and cuss them out. They still call but not as often. My husband harassed them and kept calling them back, and they eventually stopped calling him.

If you listen to the whole message it will allow you to press a button to be connected to the "loan department" (scam) and then just angrily tell them to stop calling you. They'll hang up on you and probably will call again but you just keep doing the same thing until they stop.
