Hòw can I stop these excessive spam calls?
Blocking them doesn't help...it's like the whack-a-mole game!

Exactly what DD said. If you answer a call from a number you don’t recognize then it goes into a data base of active numbers.If you don't recognize the #, don't answer. If it IS important and legitimate, they'll leave a message. Eventually your # drops as "inactive" on their lists and they stop wasting time calling it.
Unless I'm expecting a call from a # I might not recognize I never answer. Needless to say I never(VERY rarely) get spam calls and don't answer then even to "punk" the caller.
I never answer them, and they still keep calling and leaving voicemails. My loan application still needs some more information.Exactly what DD said. If you answer a call from a number you don’t recognize then it goes into a data base of active numbers.
If you don’t answer it, then it thinks it’s an inactive number and it will cease.
If you don’t recognize it then don’t answer it. I’ve had this same discussion with my elderly in-laws for years. They would constantly answer the phone regardless of the number and used to get 30-40 calls a day. I finally convinced them to stop answering it and it’s down to 1-2 calls a day now.
If it’s important they will leave a message
Is that a serious answer to a serious question,or are you being cute?NoMoRoBo
I'm glad that has worked for you. I've had up to 53 calls a day. I bet I've had at least 30 today. I listened to 18 voicemails this morning and only 2 were legit, the rest were spam.If you don't recognize the #, don't answer. If it IS important and legitimate, they'll leave a message.

Pretty much unless you want to risk not getting a call. I can set my phone up to not even ring unless it’s in my contacts, all others straight to voicemail.So...the general consensus is there's not much you can do but try to ignore them in hopes that your number will become inactive in their database?
That sounds like a good solution.Thanks!Pretty much unless you want to risk not getting a call. I can set my phone up to not even ring unless it’s in my contacts, all others straight to voicemail.
