Until last year, I was completely unaware of this problem. I made a stupid, stupid mistake - registered a .us TLD using “Google Domains” - within minutes of registration, the calls started. Some Indian voice offering website construction, ios app, android app, tech support, on & on…over 100 calls in a single week! Used call block but they kept coming. They switch numbers and send 1000s of text messages - neverending spam. I wrote to Google support and they pointed to the fineprint - cannot enable privacy on .us tld ! So the phone number will remain public. Calls kept coming. Over 1000 calls! Finally bit the bullet and changed my phone number. Will never ever buy anything from google domains. I sure hope the FTC goes after these spammers and the telcos who enable this sort of behavior.
