Anyone else getting spam calls from Niger

[Jigsalot]

This is getting annoying. I’ve had 15 today and I block everyone but it still comes back on a different number. Is there anyway to fix this. Does Telus have a way to block all calls from Africa.

Ya received about 20 calls from Niger today.

I was getting 60-70 calls per day from all over the world. Just one ring or a half a ring. No voicemail. I just put my phone on Do Not Disturb. I’m down to 5-10 per week now.

Yup I continually block the numbers but they co me in from a different unregistered number, claim to be service Canada and have a warrant for my arrest, I just hit end call and block number, only get about 5 or 6 per day.

Just once I would like to have 5 minutes alone in my garage with one of those callers

I was getting lots of called from Morroco, got fed upand went into a telus store and they phoned into support (when they phone in they are not put on hold as you or i would be), an extra digit was added to my number that a robo call cannot enter but a live person is asked to enter and the call is put through. Easy quick and haven't had another robo call since.

Good info and will have to look into that

I hooked up call control last week on my Telus phone it works perfect, the downside is you have to enter the 25 accepted numbers manually and to turn off the feature you have to logon to your Telus account.


Call Control allows customers to list up to 25 phone numbers on their accepted callers list, and up to 25 on their blocked callers list. ... To activate the service, customers can sign into their online account, or dial *99 from their TELUS phone. To learn more about Call Control, visit telus.com/callcontrol.

I’ve been getting the “pay your tax bill or you’re going to jail” calls lately. They show up on my phone with a legitimate Rocky Mountain House prefix, as on occasion I thought I missed a legit call and reached a local when I called back.

I profanely insult their mother, haven't had a call for a month.

In cash.

They never show up in the dark alley to meet me.

You need to answer the phone when it rings. Play along then make up something funny they’ll hang up. If you don’t answer they’ll just keep calling and calling.
