Between my cell and landline, I get 5 to 10 "robocalls" a day. Recently I started getting them in the wee hours of the morning. They outnumber legitimate calls about 30:1. Very many show up with a Caller ID with a spoofed local area-code and prefix.

I noticed a big uptick when I was dumb enough to buy a domain without paying the privacy fee.

I live it the US, had my number for 10+ years and actually have not gotten a Robocall once.

And I have shared my number in a lot of places
