Beware! The "Apple Support" phone scam is BAACK!

Just received a robocall asking me to call a "toll-free" number. ((The purported telephone area code is a regular area code.))

Looked this up on the Internet and found this was reported as a scam, including last October.

I got a text stating missing Netflex payment and go to a link. I get it taken out every month and shows on credit card. It is all the time.

My phone rings from all over the world, all day long. My government work phone rings about every hour. I have reported the calls to the FCC, my internet provider, my phone provider, my telecom department. I've told them that i know they are a scam, I have told them I'm on the do not call list and to stop calling my number - NOTHING is stopping them.

Finally, I have a setting on my cellphone that will take any number that I have not assigned a contact to and sends it immediately to voicemail, which I disabled. It shows me the calls but i don't hear them. I'm getting 10-20 a day.

I don't know how to get it to stop.
