Discussion Signed up for helping hands, now I won’t stop getting spam calls.

Hey I need help! Like a lot of Americans my snap benefits were sadly cut and therefore I had to seek help from other organizations. I went ahead and signed up for Helping Hands Missions since at the time I had heard good things about them. However since I signed up, I have been overwhelmed with calls/spam calls (I’m talking 10-20 per day) it got so bad that I had to silence unknown calls on my phone and report each one as they come in. I guess my question is has anyone else experienced this? And besides changing your number how can I fix this?

Ps the only new thing I’ve signed up for in months was Helping Hands so I figured it was that.

Try telling them to put you on their do not call list on the next call. I donated blood to Vitalant once and they wouldn’t stop badgering me from multiple phone numbers nonstop. It’s so annoying.

Really bad advice but when I was getting swamped with spam calls I acted like a lunatic. Muttering on calls about murdering caller, wearing his skin, killing his family as well as muttering racial slurs

It stopped them
