@RedTop SO YOU gave them my number?  

[Spurt]

Nope,I got rid of my landline several years ago and that's when they all stopped. I get none on my cell phone.....😃

[maximillian]

YES.  So annoying, just when I think a "real person" is calling me, I answer. (No Caller ID.)

@Spurt 

Good for you, but I know several people that now get calls like that on their cell phones.

[bonnielu]

I don't answer.  Hopefully messages will be left.  But that is the easy part.  My emails are full of scam and fraudent information. Takes up space and I spend time deleting them.... but never opening.

Not a single call but I never answer unfamiliar numbers plus I have a telephone company screening device on my phone that works brilliantly.  If you or an answering machine picks up, you get on their lists as being a "live one".

Yes !!! My landline has been ringing off the hook for the last 2 days. I've had at least 6 calls today and I just don't answer

What is going on, I was just at my Mother's house - she has a landline - and I couldn't believe it; her phone was ringing every few minutes!!! And it was always an 800 #!

Yes, my land line has been wild the last 2-3 days with robo calls or spam or whatever they're known as.  Mostly spoofed caller ID numbers that have my area code and first three digits, but many "800" numbers. I let the machine take anything I don't recognize and they are never legitimate calls. 

Really annoying. For a while it was so quiet I thought I had somehow beaten them off by making the machine answer. But the last few days it's been relentless. 

modern life....

Yes!!! The last few days have been the worst. I keep blocking all these phone numbers, but I'm still getting approximately 12 calls a day. Very irritating. I don't know what's going on. I've never had this many before

NO, thanks to robonomo and call blocking from Spectrum.
