Is anyone else getting a raft of spam calls today? The only one I picked up was a spam SS Number call. I was expecting a call from the state identified in the caller id, so I picked up. So far there have been 5.

Honestly, what has me more concerned right now is the texts I am getting, which I'd never had a problem with before. They off course spoof Amazon, or other companies with which I have a relationship and include links--all very officious-appearing. Of course, I delete them and block the numbers (knowing the latter is meaningless), but... How did this become a thing? Am I going to eventually reach my 1000/text per month included in my data plan because of these jackasses?
Very annoying.

I have had two calls about "Medicare" supported medical braces. They never give up.
