It’s gotten so bad, I never answer my home phone, and I only answer calls from my area code if I haven’t registered the caller.
This is entirely the fault of the phone companies.
I used to use the Mr. Number app to screen my calls on my android phone, but they have gone to a subscription model. What call blocker do you use?

And me too.
Someone buys service, phone company is happy.
If there were consequences, this crap would stop. Personally, I would put the perps in a steel room and play rap music so loud their heads would explode... shown live on tv, of course.
It is terrible here in Canada as well. About 4 times from same 844 number. I was tricked into a call from my area code where the caller said “Wow, I got a real person this time”, but the more I engaged in the call the more suspicious I became that this TOO was in fact a robot talking to me. It was from MADD Canada, apparently. They then sent me to their financial team to take my donation, and I think the person there as well was a robot. I even went to look for my wallet and came back and the “person”, said “Hello, are you ready to give me your credit card number”. I then hung up getting a bad feeling about the call.
