There's a setting to screen call as many people mention.
But there's another setting tucked away somewhere else to block unknown numbers and that's helped me a lot as well.

As soon as i finish buying my house im very seriously considering whitelisting my calls.
Same here. It's always the same Medicare scam. And I just watched that special John Oliver did about human traffickers forcing people to work in their scam factories, so I wonder if it's part of that.
I got so tired of them that I actually answered one a few weeks ago. I was shocked that an actual person answered.
I asked to be taken off and she was very nice and they actually did it.
Haven't received one since.
You could try talking to your phone company about it. My wife had a problem where someone was spoofing her number to make the spam calls. So she'd get call backs from old ladies asking her who she is and what she wanted. But T-mobile shut down her number for like 24 hours, which was inconvenient for a day, but when it came back on the problem was resolved.
You have the Pixel, use your assistant on the calls. It's good at screening them and they give up when they hit a robot talking to them.
yall actually use the call function?
Why?
There's only one outgoing call in this screenshot, if I'm not mistaken. That's acceptable
Who is your provider? If they have an online toggle for more spam detection/blocking, turn that on. Alternatively you could move to another provider who does a better job at handling spam calls.
Are they all from your home area code? I got an app that lets you block every number in a range (straight to voicemail)
Not in America. Dude, same. I get 2,3 spam calls a day, sometimes like 6. It's so annoying.
