If I had all of the money that the daily spam calls tell me I have coming to me I would never have to work again and I could travel the world! Every single day I get 3-6 calls from various numbers saying that I have been approved for $20,000 – $100,000 and that all I have to do is call them back to finalize the deal.
The calls are always a recording. There is never a live person there. One time I decided to answer to see if I could just play along and drive the scammer on the other end crazy, but there is never anyone there.
The calls come at all hours of the day and night. On days I work, there will be no less than three calls/voicemail messages from these annoying jerks!
I’m sure that my number was part of some data breach and that’s why there are all the calls. The calls used to come “Edna.” Now they don’t even mention a name.
Someone told me that this “Cloaked” app helps. It is supposed to find all the lists that have your info and gets rid of it. I’m sure it is at a cost, but I am always scared about apps like this. I’m never sure what I can trust.
Have you ever used this app or something else that will end this annoyance?

My new iPhone picks up most of these, but not all. I do miss some important calls, but they leave a vm.

In my job, I have vendors trying to get to me so I get them as well. I did setup my phone to ONLY answer calls from people that are in my contacts so it saves me a lot of answering the phone. I also get txt’s from people trying to sell things and to tell me to pay because I’m a wanted criminal LOL.

I hear you – spam calls, emails and texts have completely gotten out of control. In particular, I “love” the texts that go like ‘how are you feeling today?’ or ‘I found your number in my address book and was wondering where we met.’ I block them all and report them as spam, though I’m not sure this really helps, especially the reporting…
