Demand they give you their badge number.

Works everytime.

Can't stop. We've been trying to get in touch with you about your car's extended warranty.

Real talk though I have a pixel and this is an option in my phone app. It cuts down on spam a ton.

forward them to Ajit Pai's personal number

I'd say check the Google Play store if you have an android or the Apple store for iPhone. But I have android and I know there's many different spam call apps . And you could test out different ones

My phone is set to ring only when people on my contacts call me.

I hate spammers. I keep getting spam calls and spam e-mails. Every day I put up with this: https://i.imgur.com/INPqXZs.jpg

What I have been getting regularly for years I don't think I would call "spam," but for a long freaking time now I have been getting calls from multiple business mostly area SE Georgia asking for a woman named Suzanne. Not just asking for her, but following up with requests for their services.

Like a couple weeks ago I kept getting calls from car dealerships to follow up with Suzanne who apparently was looking at their specific vehicles. Before that, I had truck rental companies calling and asking Suzanne if she was still interested in their moving trucks.

I've had landscaping services call to give quotes for Suzanne, travel agencies call for Suzanne, it just never fucking ends. Even when I go into stores like PetSmart, HomeDepot, CVS, Etc where you put in your phone number for rewards or whatever, her goddamn name pops up as an option along with mine. It's been driving me nuts. Who the fuck is this and why does she give my number out to all these places?

I wondered if maybe our numbers are very similar and she's accidentally mixing some digits up, but I got annoyed one day a few months ago to the point where I actually dialed like 5 or 6 phone numbers that were very similar to mine with slight variations hoping I could get in touch with her and ask her to stop. While each person did answer, none of them were Suzanne, so I politely apologized for dialing the wrong number and tried the next.

I just want this crazy years long Suzanne saga to end.

I usually answer them and then tell them I have another important call coming quick, and ask if I can put them on hold. Then just see how long they wait on hold for. One of 'em I got to wait on hold for like 4 hours before hanging up

I had a similar experience but not quite as dynamic. When I got my first smartphone and a new number I kept getting these calls every single day, I don't know if they were from attorneys or collection agencies or what, but they always left voicemails saying "This message is for Cindy [last name], if this is not Cindy [last name] please disconnect this call, please give me a call at [number]." One of them even ended with, "Cindy, this isn't going away, you can't ignore this."

Similar to you, Cindy's info often popped up when I would sign up for rewards cards at local stores with my phone number, as it was obviously her old number that she changed.

Eventually I got a new number, but I got those calls every single day for as long as I had that number

Someone once put my number on Craig's list by accident trying to sell a camper. That was a doozy.
