They definitely do happen in the UK.

Later versions of Android really help with the 'spam call' filtering, though I've noticed that callers tend to just recycle through nonsense caller IDs and/or unknown numbers (which is really annoying if you have clients phoning you from unknown numbers).

At one point I was getting 10+ a day, which seems to have calmed down now. Everything from tax scams, to PPI, to car accidents.

How do you filter spam calls in Android? I keep getting calls where my screen turns red and it warns that the call is spam. I'd love to stop having my phone ring and stop getting all the voicemails.

Phone app -> top right three vertical dots -> settings -> filter spam calls

Thanks! That has really been bugging me for a long time.
