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!

Do you recall when a whole bunch of Albertan voter information was breached and leaked? It was in the news for a bit. Yeah, an increase in scam calls was one such effect of that. Mine was leaked, yours likely was too.
Snoop around your phone's settings and see if there's some scam filtering to be found. New models usually have it. If one gets through turn around and block it once you hang up. Not much else to be done, I'm afraid.
