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.

Yes I am sick of them, I with they had a setting on phones where you could leave a prompt for callers to have to activate for the call to go through, you know like a lot of doctors offices do. Example, You have reached my phone but to stop spammers press the the last for digits of my phone number for your call to go through, or press the number on the keypad corresponding with the first letter of my first name, only then the call would go through and your phone ring, all other calls would go to voice mail.
@SW-User I come up with ideas but there is so much making them happen, maybe I should take a class in coding and try to make it happen. I think maybe next time the add an new area code I will get a new phone number and port my old one to google voice. My new number I would never give out to anyone for anything but for my friends. Maybe that will help and I would still have my old number in case someone called me who I knew from before the new number.
@SW-User I know that some of my calls are from allowing someone to put my phone number in their database, if I had it to do over again I would do it different, every form or business gets the google voice number which of course I can answer if I so choose but the real number would only go to friends and maybe my doctors office.
@SW-User One thing you can do it set your phone up to only ring if senone who is on your contact list calls, everyone else gets voice mail, then when the spammers call you hear nothing.
@SW-User That is too bad, I found it useful, I only turn it off when I am expecting a call which might come from an unknown number then after that turn it back on again.
