I don't really know if this is the right place for this, but I'm not really sure where else to turn. Every weekday since March 3rd, between the hours of 8-5, I receive approximately 70-100 spam calls all from the same call center. It's all the same scam every time; Some guy with a thick eastern accent claims to be working for the Healthcare dot gov marketplace and says I'm not getting all my benefits and that they need all my personal information before passing me up the chain once or twice to some American claiming to be an insurance agent. At some point I was getting so fed up that I answered a couple times and said some exceptionally rude things, because I had received ~60 calls by that point in the day and couldn't set myself to Do Not Disturb since I was expecting an important call back about a job.
At this point they don't even answer me anymore. If I pick up, they hang up in the first few words, so they're not trying to get anything out of me anymore. Call filtering doesn't work, because most of the numbers aren't labeled as spam. Blocking numbers doesn't work, because they all come from different ones. I don't know what to do at this point and it's driving me insane while really hampering my job search. Either I babysit my phone all day long and decline calls every two minutes, or I set it to Do Not Disturb and miss every single one.
Does anybody know what the fuck I could possibly do to fix this short of getting a brand new phone number altogether?
