"Robbers are mad that people started locking their doors"

there's no way to tell if a phone call is a real opportunity at this point, and even when people can tell, the scam calls far exceed the genuine ones

All the solutions have become problems themselves now. Anyone feel in control of blocking spam calls? What do you do? Asking for an iOS-native guide.

Pretty easy.

1) Have a phone number with an area code from a place you haven’t lived since 2004 and nobody legitimate would ever call you from.

2) entirely block that area code.

That takes care of 98% of it.
