If it’s the rare legitimate call, they leave a message, otherwise the frustration is theirs.

I get a few spam calls on my cell, but not many.

I do the same. Answering message: “Your call might be important to me. Please leave a message — unless you’re a telemarketer, then please don’t.” They generally don’t.

To put a period on this topic, I removed my cell phone from Netflix, and blocked about 20 numbers sending me texts.
Have not gotten any more offers from alleged young ladies. Phew!
Since then, I've gone through my computer, and changed almost every password, and email information. I've removed my cell phone everywhere I could.
Thinking about dropping email from Verizon/Frontier/AOL where most of the phishing scams seem to occur.

I looked forward to fingerprint scanners, but this week I see where the database for fingerprints has already been hacked too!
