Too bad I cannot use it for lunch

My phone is full of spam of late. Too bad it is not the kind that you can put in a sandwich. I would have a fast lunch. I am getting tons of phone calls, all day long, from numbers I do not know. Based on other posts I see, I know I am not alone in this. Now I am going to my real job, to really work, unlike these spammer scammers.

Most of my spam goes straight to my span folder without my having to mark it as such. Very easy to just dump the whole thing. Occassionally, legitimate email gets rerouted to there, so I do check the headings before giving it the heave-ho.

These are spam phone calls. My email does sort itself to spam and trash.

Very famous canned meat, popular with some. Spam is short for the words "spiced ham". I think this is a time of year when people have a little more money, so others want to take it away.

I don't know about you but most of the calls I'm getting are about Medicare and the plans they want to pitch at me.

I don't answer those that have a local area code if I don't know it but if it's from another area code I get curious. Most have been about the Medicare changes.

I always block the number if it isn't in my contact list. Once in a blue moon one of them will leave a voice mail which I erase. It does get annoying at times

It is not easy to have phone calls like that. I get 1 call and it ruined my day

I would block most of the calls but sometimes new numbers keep coming through. I won't pick up unknown numbers.

Some of it is tied to tax returns and stimulus, I believe.

You have to block the number so they can't bother you anymore
