So true. My phone number has an area code from a place I never actually lived in (carry-over from a family plan, most of whom do live in said area code) and I got bombarded with calls the other day. I just assumed it was US election spam and blocked every number. Could one of them be my cousin calling from the trunk of a kidnapper’s car? Possibly. But, eh, not sure what I could really do from thousands of miles away.

    Same! My area code is 2k miles from here before I moved & kept no affiliations with anyone over there, so when my phone constantly blows up with spoofed numbers from that area code, they're so easy to ignore, report, block.
