I get scam messages and calls regularly. Of these I've only gotten the hst return scam.

Most common I get

  • the duck cleaning guys. Not sure why the want to clean ducks so badly but I don't own any.
  • Bank has blocked your account...
  • customs fee scam
  • lady speaking mandarin while music plays.
  • also a lot of the ones where it's just silence. I suspect these are attempting to build a voice profile for 11labs or somthing. I never answer unless spoken to first by a real human. Also got my parents trained on that scam.

Next time you turn on your phone, do yourself a favor: set a SIM pin and don't unlock it or use Airplane mode and only check your voicemail once at the end of the day.
