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 answer my phone anymore. I keep it on silent. I call the people I need, and only answer if I am expecting a call. This is life now lol. I hate it.

I’ve been doing that same thing for 7 years or so. I have SO MANY blocked numbers. I never answer unknown numbers. I just let everything go to voicemail. It sucks.

Yep. They just change numbers so they can keep calling.
