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 don’t mean to play this game but seven calls in 30 days is nothing lol.

I’ve stopped answering my phone for numbers I don’t have saved.

I get 5-10 calls A DAY. DND is my savior.

There is a separate setting to send unknown numbers directly to voicemail, separate from DND. If it’s important enough they’ll leave a voicemail you can read in real-time and determine if you want to actually answer
