The same company has been harassing for the better part a year now wanting to buy a property I don’t own. I have filled a DO NOT CALL registration, I have blocked their numbers multiple times, I have told them to stop calling and to remove my name from their list, and now I’m getting maybe 1 or 2 calls a day and multiple texts.
I sent one a sex hotline number and actually tricked the guy on the other end. Still didn’t stop them.
It probably helps that I have a couple of things in my favor.
The phone number that gets those texts/calls the most has an area code I’ve never lived in. When I needed a new direct line I chose a Florida area code because I grew up there but I’ve never lived in the 727.
It’s in my work phone at the moment and tmobile has some pretty good spam filtering.
I’m happy to share my long term strategy to deal with spam calls/texts but every time I have I get pushback from the peanut gallery.
I have something like 6 numbers, probably soon to be 7 when I add a number to our family Gmail account. I get very very little spam across all of my numbers and the ones I do get are either the flippers, election shit or someone looking for someone who used to have that number.
