About two years ago CenturyLink discontinued landline, so I had to get a VOIP connection and plug my phone into it. Admittedly this has advantages over the old way, since I can look online and see if I missed anything meaningful. During those two years, 99% of the incoming calls were obvious spam, at least two per day, showing the standard 14 second spam pattern.
The spam stopped suddenly last month. The entire call history from 3/24 to 4/24 has three calls, one of which was real. Previously a month would have contained 50 calls. What happened? Might be connected with the shutdown of a spam center based in Portland around the same time. Some of the spam calls were listed as Portland, many from fake locations between here and Portland.
