I think this is the answer. Ever since I stopped answering any number I don't recognize, spam calls have dropped to essentially 0. I've also filled out the do not call registry, but that didn't seem to do much.

Now, if I could only figure out a way to stop spam texts!

I am very happy that I was able to wire $500 to my grandson who had his friend text me that he was in jail and I could bail him out. I’m a little upset my grandson hasn’t called to thank me.

Very funny!

This link should take you there but if not Google Tom Mabe Crime Scene Call. Tom Mabe has made numerous recordings of telemarketer calls.
