How many average daily telephones/texts scams do you receive?

I no longer pick up the phone if the number is not in my address book. I figure if it's important, then they can leave a message.

As for texts, I think there's a report spam button on my phone, but not sure if it does anything.

I used to receive quite a few "Police" calls using an AI voice or text messages where I was "accused" of some "crime" that I had to pay an enormous fine for. That seemed to stop about a year ago (the mobile service providers finally did something).

The more annoying was the insurance companies try to get me to change to their insurance (you can legally cancel for no reason up to the end of November). These sort of calls were made illegal.

I also stopped receiving the "EuroPol" emails where I was accused of looking at pron on the internet and had to pay a fine of 50'000 Euros, so the mail providers must have found a way to block those too...

The latest scam attempt i had was just a few days ago.

The man said his name was Harry and was ringing about property repairs.
Which may have worked if i live in a housing association property, but I don't.

I said I didn't know what the f*ck he was on about so he hung up.

hardly any 🤷‍♂️
maybe 1 spam call per week, 1 spam text per month.
