It's not just calls though is it ? Con men operate in all kinds of ways . I never answer to an unknown number.
The latest ones that are going round are text messages saying the royal mail were unable to deliver your parcel and to click on a link.

It's often a no brainer as
A) you haven't ordered a parcel for delivery , and
B) How have Royal mail got your phone number ?

But it's amazing how many people fall for it and click on the link.
Just keep reporting it as spam.

Inside the package was a check, I think for $50,000.00!
I checked out the routing number on the check - bogus.
I checked the bank - that was bogus also.
.... and the one sending the check was bogus.

During that time, some people were doing this to the ones they wanted to hurt. The receiver of the check would cash the check and spend some of the money only to find out the check was no good.

The sender hoped this would cause financial ruin to the receiver of the check.

If the number isn't in my contact list or I'm not expecting a call from a service technician, I don't answer the call. My iphone alerts me to many of scam calls and calls that come from out of the area, I definitely don't answer and I block those calls.

I have had that one about the Royal Mail to get in touch of me on text and any fare for it because I went the post office and showed in that code and it was in there
So I'm back home because the internet was down at the time and I checked again royal mail I did then I realized it was a scam I must pay five hundred pound for first class delivery and 250 for second class delivery and my language was a Norway I paid less for the parcel and I would pray that I realized of the scam
But they must be making some good money out of scamming vulnerable people

...And that's what they do Jo. They prey on the vulnerable.
They have NO conscious whatsoever. How low can you go ?
Scum of the earth.

They are so I even brought myself one of them fake bank cards because I am ready for them when they try to phone me next time and wanting my bank details I will give them them toy bank card fake bank card details and give them a taste of their own medicine to see how they like it
They will try and hack in to a toy bank card it will serve them right because a lot of people now is getting rise to them because I remember saying to a friend of mine I'm gonna buy a a toy bank card and give them numbers and I did actually buy a card and I showed him that card it could not stop laughing because it'll serve them like it'll serve them right

I can remember years ago that people tucked their mobiles away on an inside pocket and carried in their hand a dummy phone because robberies of mobiles on the streets was rife.
