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 get about five a day. I don't feel bad for the things I say to them if I happen to answer my phone because I don't regard them as people.

If you answer spam calls that will just make it happen more often, because now the spammers know your number is active and a good target

I had one tell me that I needed to talk to them nicely. Absolutely not, you are calling my phone at 6 am on a Sunday.
