*in the US.

We don't have any problems like this in New Zealand. Maybe I get 1 overseas spam call a month, usually it's a "ringback" scam, where they spoof the caller ID and the phone rings for a half second, they hope you'll be curious and call back the number, which is really a very expensive overseas one.

But no telemarketers or insurance scams or anything like that here.

Thankfully.
