Everyday i get about 10-12 scam calls and at least 5 messages from international numbers (mainly Thailand, Indonesia, UK, USA, Philippines, Singapore) to click on a link, recharge money and play something stupid only to be robbed eventually!
I keep getting messages from our Cyber cell to not click such links or give out private bank details.
Every day someone wants to offer me a personal loan so i did say yes today and asked for 50,00,00,000 Indian rupees and the lady hung up lol
Chinese people seem to be quite active with us lol recently. CR means billion.

It's clearly the violation of DND. The TRAI has provision to penalize such callers up to INR 10,000. But operators are not doing anything, because they are getting revenue from these callers.
@SW-User The moment I see red color in Truecaller, I reject the call. Sometimes they call from new numbers, the second I realize it's spam, I just disconnect and block them. It's better not to waste your time. They are like "Chikna Ghada", they are used to listen whatever you could say, you will just be wasting your time, and sometimes may end up losing your calm if you talk more.
@SW-User Not all numbers get so much calls. If you think, your number is circulated publicly in many spam databases. You can consider getting a new number. Although it would be hectic to update it everywhere and with everyone. You can use call diverting for first few months, unless you normalize things.
@SW-User You have to personally visit the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra for updation of mobile number. For most other things you can do it online from your home. It would be not easy though, you have to decide if it worth doing the exercise, or you are mentally ready to enjoy the spam.
