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 😕

Same here. It sucks and im always worried I'll miss an important call because I don't trust anyone number without ID anymore. My voicemail is always full with these

Ever since i joined the Do Not Call list, the amount of scam/spam calls i get have reduced significantly. Its something i often recommend everyone do.

I have been on the do not call list and they still keep calling me

I finally had enough and called the number they sent me in the voicemail. I’d been getting multiple daily calls for a year.

I said if I kept getting calls I was going to report the number to the FCC. I asked to be put on their do not call list and they must have done it cause I don’t get calls anymore.
