First rule: never provide any human interaction, do not even red button the caller. All the spammers (all automated) seek first is a heartbeat.

Second Rule: texts, swipe left and delete. Texts are for family and friends only.

Third rule: call them back on the land line and have some fun blasting away on them. The annot spam my land line it is always disconnected.


I got rid of an older van. Once that event occurred:
I am flooded with dopey requests to reinstate my warranty ( 22 years old no warranty and no longer owned by me).
Also receive bogus messaging to insure my van.
again it is gone.
From above. They are looking for any keystroke and then whammo, you are plagued by relentless spam.
