Just a sampling from last week. Every single one of these is the same scam. I had another seven yesterday.

I never answer and they always leave the same prerecorded voicemail message (although that message seems to change every few days) about me owing taxes, which I absolutely don’t.

I also get most of them within an hour, which makes it even more annoying.

And yes, I’m on the do not call list.

Someone please make it stop!

    Settings -> Apps -> Phone -> Silence Unknown Callers

    Might make it more bearable if you’re not already using it. But it’s still annoying even then.

      Thanks, that will help. Although I hope the legitimate unknown calls I get, and I do get them not infrequently due to things like medical issues, will know to leave a voicemail.

        They will unfortunately also get filtered. What I do is to direct important callers to ensure they leave a VM, or send an email or text.

          Well, at least I can turn it on when the block of calling starts. I can turn it back off later in the day.
