Getting a shitload of spam calls but I can't report them since the part of the government that deals with it is shut down
you can report spam calls?? and something gets done about them??
idk how effective it is but at this point I'm willing to try anything, I'm getting like a dozen of these fucking calls a day and they all seem to be from NYC area codes (I am nowhere near NYC)

You know the spammers have a way to spoof the phone numbers they are calling from? So they might not actually be calling from NY.
Them being from a place where you're not is the best -- you can safely ignore those. I'm in the same boat and would be pissed if they came from local numbers that could actually be relevant.
yep
nope
