Has anyone else experienced a significant increase in spam calls? [View all]

For the last 3-4 days, I'm receiving 6 or more spam calls daily - all different numbers- I have an Android call screen, but all callers keep the line.open for a minute, and say nothing. I block them all and report spam - but this is far more than I've ever dealt with.

PLEASE NOTE - I never answer them - my spam screen picks them off.
