How to Stop Spam Calls
Here are some tips to help you stop spam calls:
- Register your phone number with the National Do Not Call Registry.
- Use call blocking software or apps that can automatically detect and block spam calls.
- Do not answer calls from unfamiliar or suspicious numbers, and do not return calls to unknown numbers.
- Avoid sharing your phone number online or with businesses unless it is necessary.
- Be cautious of sharing personal information with callers, especially those claiming to be from companies or government agencies.
- Use your phone’s built-in call blocking feature to block specific phone numbers or area codes.
- Be cautious of voicemails or text messages from unknown numbers and do not click on any links or download attachments.
- Consider using a virtual phone number or disposable phone number when signing up for online services or making purchases to avoid giving out your personal phone number.
