       I get spam calls quite frequently, and they're always the same thing; some Chinese automated message that eventually gets an English translation, telling me to pick up a parcel or something. It's super annoying, but easily avoided by not answering to numbers I don't recognise.The worst bit is that my number is spoofed and used for these spam calls also, so I get people calling me to ask why I called them when I didn't.I'm not going to the effort of changing number so I'm stuck with it.

       @jumboshrimp I've found Yet Another Call Blocker to be a pretty good option in helping with spam calls. It's FOSS and on F-Droid.

       @tokenwizard Cheers! I'm on iPhone but I assume there are equivalents. I'm not certain they would work in this case though since the calls come from normal mobile numbers that have been spoofed.

       @jumboshrimp true. Any time I get a call from a number I don't recognize that ends up being a spam call, I just block it, even if it is a valid number. Does that run the risk of blocking someone I don't know from contacting me for legit reasons? Maybe. Do I care? Maybe not. Lol.
