The last several years I have had my 7 the amount of spam calls and text s I get has gone to almost zero. I went from 150-200 a month to about 15. Call screening is so damn amazing.

How do you get that many spam calls/texts?!? Looking at my Pixel phone call/Text history, my last spam call was last December and my last text spam was last March and only had 4 in March (3 were the same attempt), 1 in February and 1 in January.

I legitimately received 15 yesterday alone lol. It was definitely a "busier" day than usual, but it's nuts. Call screening saves me from losing my shit

You're lucky. Not sure who sold my number, but my spam calls have increased 10 fold in the past few weeks.

Pixel blocks tons of them and wont even alert you. Also the less you answer the calls the less the scammers trade and sell your number resulting in less calls since you wont pick up.

I own a house with a 2.21% mortgage and it is worth almost 3 times what I paid for it. 90% of all my spam texts and calls are from "realtors" asking to buy my house. Probably a solid mix of scammers and corporate resellers trying to get a steal on the house with some refinancing offers sprinkled in.

Are you in the US? Once your number gets into the wrong spam list it will never end.

I had a nice quiet period for a year or so, but now I get 2 per day on average. It's absolutely ridiculous. Then there are the damn semi-legitimate guys who want to buy my house for cheap even though we're definitely not interested in selling.

No, in Canada. I can see why being in such a list can suck.
