Here's a list of unsolicited numbers I've received in the last several months alone (links to reverse lookups where available). Who else has gotten calls from them?

 

 

I found that the volume of nuisance calls dropped off to almost zero when I started using the new call screening feature on the iPhone. It seems that time wasters will leave you alone when they discover that you have robust gatekeeping on your phone and there is minimal chance of actually getting you on the line. 

 

 

Samsungs have an alert when a calling number is suspected spam

 

 

I use Truecaller to identify and tag some of them. When that doesn't suffice, Tellows etc are the next port of call.

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell

Got home after an 8 hour flight  

 

Front door doesn’t open from the inside. Someone at homes cellphone is broken.

 

I thought I’ll sit and watch tv for half an hour then face the world. 

 

Dog comes over. I think, that’s nice. The dog vomits sand all over the carpet.

 

I’m either going to bed or opening a beer. Maybe both.
