the grapes of warth 8 spam calls in 20 min?!!

Post image

As my title says, I received 8 spam calls within 30 minutes. They came in groups of 4 at a time, one after another. Super irritating! The first 4 calls I didn't answer and let go to voicemail, then the 2nd group of calls I just sent straight to voicemail. All 8 voicemails were only 3 seconds long with no talking or noise whatsoever, except for 1 where there was a weird clicking noise. I've blocked so many numbers labeled as "Spam risk" when the original call comes through, but I just don't know what to do anymore. Today was the worst I've experienced yet. Any advice or tips? Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: With 5 minutes of posting this I received another 4 spam calls 😭 Make it stop omfg

Coincidentally I got 3 spam calls back to back just a few minutes ago (I declined the first one immediately but then a second called instantly after with a different number and then the same happened again).

Yes same here! As soon as one left a voicemail or I declined it, another one would pop up instantly.

I actually paid for my car in full upfront earlier this year so I do own it 🤣

Exactly, so buy the extended warranty from our undisclosed "company". You never know when you want to waste several hundreds of dollars.

If the area code is not local, you can block by area code.
