Has anyone else seen a huge reduction in spam phone calls?

[phylny]

We have two cell phones and a landline, and were subjected to many calls per day - car warranties, Medicare programs, credit card "issues," etc. I can't remember the last time we got a call from a scammer. You?

1. Very true i heard they work in rooms together on phones

Saw a program on tv about it, and they constantly change phones so hard to catch.

Maybe with most people staying home or ordered to the spammers are at home instead of working.

8. I get spam texts ALL THE TIME.... Usually telling 'Mindy' about some special deal..click here.

Right. I report every one to Tmobile as they say we should be they just use another fake # and send again and again. I think today I only had one.

9. Only since social distancing has started

and these callers don't go to an office any more.

10. Not here

Massive increase since earlier this week. To cell phone.

[GemDigger]

12. Yes. I was keeping track on my phone all the spam calls and I had 48 of them

the end of February. I have only had 5 in the month of March and one of those 5 was my republican congressidiot, so that classifies as spam.

13. If they don't leave a message,it's not important..

Usually when they do leave a message it’s a robotic voice with bad grammar telling me it’s the IRS and there’s an arrest warrant in my name if I don’t call them back within a day. Maybe it’s the bad grammar in the message that’s the dead give away, but I have yet to get arrested for not returning their phone call.

14. Yes!

Penn Credit dot Com has stopped calling me!

[Ms. Toad]

15. Nope.

If anything, it has increased.

Unfotunately, since I have my work phone forwarded to the cell I have to answer calls from an unknown number - and I have to answer with my name.

Had a warranty call yesterday, and at least one call the day before (don't remember the source)
