    (France) I’d say I get an average of 5 a week since the end of last year. Before that they were very uncommon.

      France too, I came back a few months ago and after a month.

      I had my number for years but suddenly after a month I started receiving a lot of spam. I would love to know who gave away my number too.

      At least now at the spam calls have to come from specific numbers so it’s easy to block.
