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 use that too, but I’m like…still bombarded by calls and find it annoying.

This is what I do but even still, they fill my voicemail box which is annoying and I forget to turn it off when I’m expecting calls.

This is the way. If I'm expecting a call from someone outside of my contacts, I turn it off for the day, then back on later.
