Ya. Like this is gonna do anything. Why are we not going after the carriers? They are the ones that can do something. If you call me from a number I don’t have in my phone, I 100% will not answer. If a voicemail isn’t left or a text isn’t sent stating who you are and what you want, you will never hear my voice. It sucks that I have to screen my phone. I receive 5-10 spams calls per day some months, and other months there’s less. Not sure why. Anyway, point is it sucks and we need to force the carriers to help end this nonsense.
What’s worse is whenever I Google the numbers I see them on lists on obscure incoherent randomly generated .ru sites which make me think they are some kind of phishing operation, but my carrier will gladly display as verified/check marked businesses complete with old/spoofed caller IDs 3-4x a day.
Completely unusable trash system, yet it’s critical national infrastructure.
