8YY-XXX-XXXX lending phone calls insane

(Where YY is the same digit, X are random) I have two phones and this latest scam is out of control - 8 calls per day per line. Is there ANY reason to have a phone number anymore? It's just all trashed now. I recommend we drop the ability for other countries to call in. Perhaps they can plead for attention via email and we can call them back?
