It's exhausting, my voicemail is constantly full because of all the spammers. I use the "Silence Unknown Callers" and block spam numbers features on my iPhone, which helps a bit, but it still feels like I get 20+ missed call notifications per day.

And I'm not just getting calls ... I'm getting texts as well. My phone is constantly going off at my day job. The ones he appear to be scammers like to use WhatsApp, so ya know.

That's awful. I've been pretty lucky, I get scam calls and block them when I can. The problem is that the same people call from different numbers, so blocking only does so much. But I've never gotten them in very high numbers.

Yes, I've blocked tons myself and yes they constantly come back w different #s. It's exhausting. On a bright note, I have an interview in the morning over zoom. Wish me luck.

Yes all the scams are a pain! I can't tell you how many "work 2 hrs a day & get paid same day" crap I've had contact me. One guy even got quite aggressive with me when I asked if I were expected to put up my own money to submit jobs. It's only $300 he says. Don't you have $300?? No, no I actually don't have $300 just laying around collecting dus!! After I pay everything I'm lucky to make it til next payday!
