I just NEVER give my phone to anyone but friends, family, and my bank (s) for alerts.
I have had the same carrier and number for 25 years and get almost ZERO spam calls or texts...like one maybe every couple of months.

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

I've never come across the extended car warranty thing. Just the usual virus/Amazon/accident calls. Maybe it's a US only market. I would avoid any such thing at all cost.
I follow a scam-baiter on YT that regularly baits some of the dodgy warranty call centres.

i keep telling them my vehicle is a 1978 chevy pickup, and today some guy from the same number tried to get me hooked on something to do with my publisher's clearing house.

Unfortunately my phone is used as a business phone. It doesn't matter what area code shows up on it, I have to answer it. You won't believe how many robo-calls I get a week.

I usually say I have never owned a car and don’t plan to, but willing to know more out of sheer curiosity.

One good thing about the 'rona crisis, these scam & cold calls seemed to have stopped for a while, especially from Indian Call Centres asking for Mr. Rachel Cartwright The robotic 'Amazon' 'Netflix' and 'internet will be cut off' are beginning to resurface though.

Bah, that's nothing.
I was called the other day by the Law Enforcement Division of the IRS, as apparently the FBI is after me for illegal activities I committed in Texas. However, the "cops that are coming to your house" could be halted if I called the number provided and settled the matter.
#%&*$#, that Google text-to-speech is a helluva IRS Law Enforcement Division (slash) FBI agent.
Apparently the cops that were on the way to my house got lost or something, because they never showed up.
A few weeks later, my non-compliance triggered the Law Enforcement Division of the Social Security Administration, who also were teaming up with the FBI, this time for illegal activities I had committed in Florida. Though I failed to call the number provided, Google Text-to-Speech Man must have taken pity on me, as the cops once again failed to arrive to arrest me.
I felt like such a desperado!

@ Dart, I know enough not to answer them but I have to at least waste their time at their own expense and my entertainment.

I get the you won a vacation in Florida, always Florida, why not Paris or Australia. . Because everyone and their dog wants to come to Florida. Florida is like the polar opposite to Michigan.

It's not Miami Florida. It's Jacksonville or some East Florida place. Florida has over 20 million people now so the whole state is crowded.

Yeah, I lived in Jax, FL from 1996 to 2009, lots of growth in that time (especially after hosting the 2005 Superbowl) and *really* growing today! Looking at St. John's County where I lived... Year Population: 1900: 9,165 2019(est.): 264,672 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Johns_County,_Florida ++++++++++ Funny compared with the Parish (County) where I live today, which has dropped in population over the past 120 years... Year Population: 1900: 20,443 2018(est.): 19,305 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Feliciana_Parish,_Louisiana ...because they're not including the horses and cows.
