This happened to me when I received a cell for work. I ended up fully silencing the phone and giving important co-workers my personal number instead. The spam calls have only recently started to slow down... I've had the number for 10 years.

Imagine the possibilities when AI gets involved and can't distinguish between killing children (programming) vs IRL.
