The second time the same number calls back, it becomes a different story.

You haven't met scammers/spam callers local to me. Assholes are persistent.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Weird. Yeah since like 2009 I have almost never seen a spam call come from the same number twice. I'm in the US.

[–] Patches@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Meanwhile my phone...

Not pictured the 4 other calls at the same exact time.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The same number always calls you? It's typically a new number every time for my spam calls.

[–] Patches@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

It is both a new number every half hour or so, but the same number in a row. Once they call me between 2 and 20 times. They change numbers

They always use the same zip code though which I appreciate.

I no longer live where I got my first cellphone and I am okay not talking to anyone who still lives there. Makes it easy to ignore.

[–] zip@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago

I've been getting the same thing! Usually in the morning, too. It's very annoying. Glad to know I'm not alone, at least?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Weird. The numbers look american. Is that true?

[–] Patches@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

You can call from anywhere and the world and declare your 'Phone Number' to be whatever you want. It's an absolute joke.

[–] poppy@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

Same. It makes blocking the numbers pointless.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Ah, Canadian here

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I never get these calls. My secret? I never give my phone number out to anyone except hospitals and other health related professions.

When I gave out my number I got them all the time.

There are local prefixes I will never answer no matter what. I'm looking at you, 243 and 422.
