Nearly 2.4 billion robocalls are made every month, and we feel like we've been getting a lot of them lately! Here's what you can do to stop them:
1.) Google your own number and see if your number is easy to find
2.) Add your number to the National Do Not Call registry. If you are already registered and you're still getting these calls, report them to the Federal Trade Commission.
3.) Block those calls and texts - on iPhones, tap the green phone icon on your home screen, select the "Recents" tab, then the tap the blue "i" information icon next to the number you want to block. On Androids, go into your call log and long-press on the number you want to block.
4.) Bring in the big guns and download an anti-spam app, like Nomorobo.
