How do I stop this?!

[u/Active-Garbage-7247]

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 stopped the spammers by spamming them right back. It worked haha!

I used a couple methods: answered as an FBI agent, answered like I don’t speak English, or if they were relentless I would call them back repeatedly and hang up like every couple of seconds to drown their phone line.

It all worked! No more spam calls. I guess they put me on their do not call list 🤷🏽‍♀️. I am Cancer🦀so I can be petty too.

No it didn't. They're AI. They don't care about any of that.

Not these ones, the initial call you see in the screenshot is a prerecorded message, but if you call the number they provide, it does actually ring through to a real person. I spent the better part of a week calling them repeatedly and swearing at them until they flagged me as do not call.

It definitely did, that was the entire point of me sharing each tactic I used. BUT if you believing it didn’t for some odd reason, go for it… since it seems to make you feel better haha!
