Lately a lot of people are suddenly getting nonstop spam calls — telemarketers, fake loan offers, lottery wins, insurance upsells, even scam threats. It makes you wonder… is our phone number being leaked or sold somewhere?


Have you noticed a sudden spike in spam calls too?
Did it start after signing up on a website, downloading an app, or filling an online form?

For anyone dealing with this right now:
What’s the best way to figure out where the leak came from?
Should people check permissions on apps, remove numbers from shady sites, or use “number lookup” tools?
Any tips to reduce spam calls or stop scammers from contacting you altogether?


Share what worked for you — blocking, reporting, changing settings — your experience could help someone regain control of their phone again.
