Spam calls aren’t just a nuisance. If you answer one, you could also be scammed out of your identity or hard earned cash. Here are some of the latest ways to stop them.

It's simple, I don't answer any caller I don't recognize

If a name doesn’t come up, I don’t answer. If it’s important enough, they’ll find another way to contact me.

Omg so happy, I can no longer receive scam calls! They call me constantly, exhausting, Thank you!!

I'm a voice actress. How I handle them is I answer them, and make them think the number is disconnected, no longer in service, etc

Mine says spam likely but I hate when it leaves a voice-mail. I still have to go into it to delete it

Most scam calls I get hijack real people’s numbers, but unless I know the number or a call I am expecting comes through I won’t answer and I don’t have voicemail. The downside is that I have to create a contact for everyone since businesses use VOIP.

These spam calls usually came from India. They are such a scammer.

I've been called 32 times yesterday and 37 today

Mine says scam likely is all. What if it is someone I know that has spam likely comes up?

One way is to imitate al Pacinos Tony Montana

I watch channel 5 every day, almost. I think you forgot to DEFINE what a spam call is and when it is not and some people take like 7 seconds to answer. Are those who take like 7 seconds to answer also a SPAM? I think you should specify that next time. Give people 7 seconds to answer, if they do not answer, block them: there are some legitimate people looking for work calling people.
