OMG, my cellphone number must have been hacked and sold to a million online telemarketers! Well, it's not surprising, every couple of months I get some letter from some data branch of oneof my doctors, my dentist, my credit card company claiming a data breach that can include breaches of any and all of the data you gave them.

I swear, I've had over 30 calls on my phone from telemarkers in the past 2 days; I finally changed my phone's settings to silence all calls from unrecognized numbers for the time being. Went back and registered on the do not call list; I know I had my old cell number registered, but I don't think I ever did with this number. Still, the telemarketers have up to 31 days to stop calling you....I am especially infuriated by getting numerous calls from US Debt Helpers, again and again. Of course, all the numbers are spoofed, many looking like they come from the 3 major area codes used around here. If it's important enough and the person is not on my call list, they'll leave a message. I was so mad yesterday I was SCREAMING at every call. Then, this morning, H told me I could silence all the calls from numbers not in my contacts list. Didn't realize you could do that! THANK GOD you can do that! Maybe I'll start to level out again.
