I get about 5-6 a week. It’s worse when I pick up the phone, because I am waiting for a call from a number I might not know. Most recently I was acting as a job reference. Out of 20 calls, 2 were legit. The moment I started answering the phone, the spam calls increased to a few a day (they established I was a real number). The only way I get off these lists is to pretend I am another call center. Then they start to die down back to only a few a week (or whomever is calling from dozens of unknown caller id’s that leave no voice mail or voice mail is the tail end of a recording).
I get 3 or 4 per year. The trick is to not give your phone number to any companies. Those rewards programs at restaurants and stores are selling your info straight to sketchy advertisers and scam call centers.
