Spam blitz
The last few days I have been blitzed with a new (to me) spam process. A call will come in from 904682640684 or 23522367987 and when answered immediately leave a message. Clicking/selecting that mess...
- I got 30 of them yesterday, all from various international numbers. About 10 again today. They call hang up after a ring or 2. I read the scam is they call a few times to entice you to call back to see whatbit is about, which in turn would incur some sort of charges. Don’t call them back! https://www.google.com/amp/s/miami.cbslocal.com/2019/04/08/are-you-getting-unexpected-overseas-calls-heres-why/amp/
Log on to My TELUS and turn on call control. It's free.
I looked into that but as I understand it.. activating it, challenges all calls. I am a volunteer driver for seniors (https://drivehappiness.ca/) and get many calls from seniors that do not need a new level of complexity when they call. If, I could register only some numbers.. and leave the rest it would work, but I don't think it works that way.
I checked out Drive Happiness. Looks like they provide a much needed service.
What phone do you have? I have an Android phone and I can block specific phone numbers on it.
