How Do I Stop Scam International Numbers From Calling Me? by samsard(m): 5:12am On Sep 14, 2021
Hello guys.

I've been having an issue with strange international numbers always flashing me. From what I could glean online, these are scam numbers that are meant to make you call them back and probably waste your airtime.
My main anger is that this has been on for good while. Even though I never call back, they don't seem to giveup.
I'll post some of these numbers from my call history list.

There's nothing much you can do. It's as a result of your not being careful with your data online. Your data is probably exchanging hands for money (but you got nothing to fear). The call might not actually be a foreign call. Just be more careful from now on.

Unfortunately, it's my main line and I use it for most serious things.
I understand the bolded too.
