I get anywhere from 5-10 spam calls a day at least during business hours, not sure what I did to get on some lists but likely refinancing my home loan last year or when I was executor of my dads estate like 5 years ago... it's gotten worse in the last few months for sure...
I refuse to screen my calls since I shouldn't have to, they're always different numbers, no repeats since they started using the random number generator things a few years ago. One dude that called me was actually pretty cool, he laughed at me since I was going off on him (was like my 8th call that day), he told me the magic words to say "please remove me" and told me to register on donotcall.gov so I did, that was just over a week ago so I haven't cussed anyone out in the last week...
For the record I'm kinda making a mental list of companies to not recommend to anyone, so far "clean energy solutions" has called me 5 times in the last 24 hours, State Farm insurance apparently pays money to this BS as well as one time a few days ago an especially sketchy automated thing asked me for my zip code (gave them the one for Salem) and to spell my first and last name so I told them Steve Genovski and wouldn't you know it within 30 minutes I got 5 calls for "hey Steve" and "Hi, is this Steve?" . I know better than to give any of these things real data or even use my normal voice in the automated part...
