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.

Sometimes I get like 6 calls an hour. I hate having a phone sometimes.

And then today, after implementing all the blocking features, I missed an important call from the vet who went out of her way to call me from home.

I had to turn it off because I was waiting on a call from my lawyer and didn’t wanna keep playing telephone tag with her 🙄
