sudden increase in junk calls?

Post by rmeden » Thu Jun 27, 2019 7:13 am

Before I switched back to Ooma a few months ago, I was getting at least 4-5 junk calls a day.

With the excellent Ooma Premier filtering, it dropped to a steady 1-2 a day. Yea Ooma!

Yesterday I had 4 calls and today I've had 3 before 10am. All have (presumably spoofed) local numbers.

Anyone else notice a sudden increase? I wonder if NoMoRobo integration is having issues or if the spammers thought up something new.

I know I can send all calls to voicemail, but I like to see a log.

Haven't noticed that large an increase but they have picked up a little. Almost all are either spoofed local numbers or other numbers in my state/area code and caller ID shows only city and state abbreviation. I report them all to Nomorobo but I suspect those spoofed numbers are only used for a day or two and gone by the time NMR enters them in their database. Even with the uptick, still way better than before I signed up for Premier.
