Comment on I am getting inundated with calls from some sort of tax scam and it's driving me nuts.

If you can, turn off unknown callers from being able to reach you.
I’ve done this and it’s been wonderful. The spams have actually decreased significantly since I don’t answer the phone for them at all anymore.
It’s under Settings > Phone (have to go into Apps in iOS 18) > Silence Unknown Callers
Anyone who is not in your contacts gets a ring but the ring doesn’t go to you so you don’t hear it and don’t answer. They can leave a voicemail but scammers never leave me voicemails.

Someone else showed me that earlier and I turned it on. So far, so good!
