I was getting a least twenty calls a day from various scammers on my cell phone.  Now when I see a recurring spam number I answer it "hello, cemetery hotline, how may I help you"  freaks them out .  also went to the verizon store and the tech added Mr. Number to my apps which is a great tool.  I got a call from 201-512-9854 and Mr.Number blocked it and it showed as a missed call.  I've heard that if you answer it, they know it is a "live" number and add it to a list to sell to other bottom feeders - so guess these pests are just a fact of life in the new world.
