Starting this morning I’ve been getting tons of #spam phone calls from random numbers, each identified with a real human person’s name. The couple that I have picked up say they got a call from my number with some business name attached (this is a personal number.) #tmobile doesn’t have much to suggest. My best guess is that my number is now being spoofed by a scammer? Anyone else ever experience anything like this?

"Zum Glück gibt es einen einfachen Trick, die Identität des Anrufers zu überprüfen: den Rückruf. Wählt man selbst die angezeigte Nummer, kann man sicherstellen, dass man auch wirklich dort landet, wo man hinmöchte."

Das ist doch wohl Quatsch, oder?

I think $300,000,000 is a great start.
These are the kind of problems everyday people are concerned about.

One of my favorite features on iOS is “silence unknown callers” — never get a spam call (and by the looks of it I avg two a day). #iOS #spamcalls

Yeah no PRC, I did not submit information to you...

@JessTheUnstill I'm just gald that #SpamCalls and #SpamSMS are illegal and that @BNetzA literally disconnects violators within minutes after being reported...

#ZeroTolerance for #Spamming is the only way to deal with it.

That being said they sadly don't pursue #eMail #spamming at all...

Great news! SLAIT, an initiative that facilitates American Sign Language training through an AI-powered interactive tutor, is gaining momentum. In addition, WhatsApp has introduced back-end updates to tackle spam calls, and a new term, “Bigolas Dickolas”, is becoming the latest buzzword. Stay informed with TechCrunch. #technews #AI #ASL #education #spamcalls #WhatsApp #latestbuzz

Fediverse, we need a new piece of software, a FOSS alternative to TrueCaller.
Does it exist? #TrueCaller #SpamCalls

Remember kids: don't ever put your #phonenumber on social media, it'll always get hacked and you'll recieve #spamcalls every single day.

More than Zero spam calls is too many.

Doubly so in the first days of the new year where they're *all* getting past my phone service's spam filter.

#SpamCalls

@crazygingerlady @thebadnewsb I'm jist glad that unsolicited calls - espechally with falsified or hidden number - are illegal in Germany and that @BNetzA terminates #scammers and #robocallers within hours if not minutes of reports.

Thus #robocalling and #SpamCalls are basically nonexistant in #Germany.

I wish #FCC would also have #ZeroTolerance in that sector.
