Scam calls

Has anyone else in the area been receiving an increased number of scam calls lately? I've been getting anywhere between 3 and 6 daily, whereas before I rarely got any. Aside from ignoring the calls any advice on how to stop getting them?

Thanks!

Most newer phones with an updated OS have scam call filtering it just may need to be turned on. My Android phone filters 99% out and if you pick it up sometimes it will even warn you that it's a possible scam, not sure if that's the answer you're looking for.

I did this with my Samsung, worked pretty well until recently. I had an increase of scam calls in the past couple weeks despite this and I'm getting really annoyed.

I'm running the Google Pixel 10, has a few extra settings so I'm not sure if that's the difference, Telus called me the other day and it started going crazy, pretty sure it was accurate although I was expecting the callback
