    SPAMMER calls are getting more sneaky.

    They’re getting worse and worse. Now instead of spammers calling from a unavailable number they’re calling from a familiar area code. I get 2-5 spam calls a day. Wish we could pass a law or something to make it stop. Ridiculous.

    I answered this one and it ended up wanting to sell me home security system.

      Get the app called call protect. it will catch 99% of the bs calls.

        I downloaded an app called call protect (for ATT). It has helped quite a bit so if you are on AT&T it might be worth a try.

          My wife receives a call from her number about twice a week.

                I get 3-5 calls every day from numbers with the same first 6 digits as mine. Only the last 4 are different. Makes them easy to recognize and ignore.

                  I'm not at all knowledgeable on the topic but I heard a guy talk about it on the radio. Apparently there are number generating sites that these guys use. They type in the number that they are going to call and it generates a similar number (appearing to be a local call) from which it appears their call is coming from... if that makes sense. I've got a few calls from numbers with 9 of 10 digits the same. Finally got one from my exact number. "Tim Longoria calling" Pretty sneaky. If only they'd use their powers for good ...

                      I got a call yesterday from my own number - don't know how that is possible. I was hoping it was "future me" calling with a warning or a hot betting tip but there was nobody there...

                        I get calls from cities all around me just about every day, I hope my own number calls me someday, that would be hilarious.

                          I started answering these calls just to waste their time. As soon as they start talking, I interrupt them and start telling them about how my hunting season is going. After I get done with hunting season, if they haven't hung up I will start talking about the fish I've been catching. Most of the time I don't get to make it to the fish tales.

                              I started blocking each every one of those numbers. It seems to have really helped.
