Up or down in the last 6 months...For me, I'd say they have remained constant to at least one per day.

Same here..about one daily. But I noticed that it usually comes from a number with similar first six digits as mine. I think its to mask what their real numder is?

I remember going back 6-7 years talked to multiple people that would use spooftel to change the phone number that appears when they call others .... in their case so certain people(ie. family, gfriend...) would not know they were in LV for example.

I have fun with them. I'm retired so have the time to jerk these people around.

I play all kinds of games with these callers...............fun shit for me.

Nomorobo works. I am using it on my landline. I just keep a landline around because it's part of my cable deal with Verizon and my cell service can be spotty in my home. Since I have activated Nomorobo I average one junk call every couple of days. It's amazing. I look at the call log of who gets through and most of the repeat offenders are gone. I also use the "Do Not Call List" but the telemarketers get around that by locating the base of their operations offshore so they can't be fined.

I get about 4 or 5 a day. Do not call list does nothing. The latest is they give a number with my area code and my first 3 digits to make you think it is a real call. I need to answer calls for work on my cellphone.

I do want to give props to T-Mobile. Now they show me the words Scam Likely for quite a few of the calls.

digitone call blocker is great. i block all area codes and then invite selected area codes in. obviously, i have to let all 702 calls in but i never answer if the call id is not familiar. they come in spurts but i have noticed that fridays are a big day for telemarketers.
