Inam no stranger to spam calls on my cell, but since I do not have a Texas area code, I rarely get a spam call from Texas. Since I have been doing some car shopping I guess a dealership sold my number to some spam boiler room because I am now getting a rash of calls from the 430 code with callerd id locations like Lone Oak, Sherman and Ladonia. I don’t answer and there are no voice mails, so I know they are spam and I bet the calls are computer generated and don’t actually come from a phone at those locations.
Anyway, I dont fancy loading one more app on my phone just to block spam calls so I just ignore, block and repeat.

If you put your number in car gurus I would bet that could be it. They will give your name and number to anyone and everyone. I get leads from them. Call the people. And they are like WTF. They are not even shopping for a car but I have their name, number, zip code, email. I think these websites farm info so it can look like a good service to the dealers they are charging 100k a year to advertise.

If I get a call that is not in my contacts it goes to voicemail, If they leave a voicemail and a number I can call back if needed. I get several a day.

I turn on my 'do not disturb ',put all my contacts in the 'allow these calls', mine has the feature to foward any recall in 15 minutes. Went from 30 robo calls to 0!
