(Picture alt text: a screenshot of my phone's call log, with numbers redacted (just in case). The phone numbers (except for one) are all spam calls)
I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this, but I am at my limit with these.
Constantly throughout the day I get spam call after spam call. I constantly report them to Google (I've got a Pixel 5, if it matters), yet nothing changes. This has been happening for months.
These calls will also leave the exact same, completely silent, 4-second voicemails. I will block and report spam, but you know how it is. There's no way to turn voice mail notifications off, and I wouldn't necessarily want to, because I know I'd miss something genuine or important.
What do I do? Is there anything I can do, beyond changing numbers? Even then, I'm sure a new number would exist in some database somewhere and be victim to more spam calls. This is heinous.
Thanks for reading. I'm just so frustrated.
Edit: this got a lot more attention than I anticipated. I appreciate the suggestions for different spam blockers and settings! It's also nice knowing I'm not alone. Hopefully, at least in the US, we'll get some real legislation eventually that will kill these spam calls once and for all.
I get daily calls about a house I don't own in a state I don't live in. I'm currently trying to play along, so that I can actually get a real U.S. company to call me, so I know who's behind it.
From what I've read, U.S. realtors will use an Israeli company to robodial and generate leads. The company is very careful to not reveal who their client is (even questions like "can you tell me a little more about this?" will get them to hang up). But if I play along, maybe I'll eventually get a call that I can see is clearly from someone like Keller Williams.
Once I get to that point, I'll be able to sue them for $1500 under the TCPA
It's not even about the money at this point. I want it to stop. But if they want to be dickholes to this degree, they might as well pay me $1500. I don't expect one lawsuit to stop every company using this scumball service. But again, if I can get those assholes to pay me then why shouldn't I?
