does anyone know if there's somewhere to report scam/spam numbers?

I am so fucking sick of these worthless sacks of shit calling me multiple times per day, leaving VOICEMAILS every time, from a different number every time so I can't just block them.

I hope they die a slow and horrible death, and the same for whatever carrier keeps giving them numbers. I would also really appreciate it if Fido/Rogers stopped letting spam calls through their network.

Hmm, my housing problem must be bad!
Two different numbers, both identifying as #HousingSolutions called about problems I had (not) reported. The first person couldn't hear me saying that I had a water leak and it was 3 feet deep; the second caller heard me again say water 3 feet deep and went quiet - I then cut him off

@Haste I'm just glad @BNetzA does disconnect #Spamcalls and #SMS-#Spamming numbers within minutes of reporting them, because unsolicited calls and #Spam to individuals are at best a misdemeanour if not felony here...

Not that there isn't already a whole #industry of #Scammers doing "shock calls" to scam seniors of their money pretending to be relatives in dire need...

I'm looking for a #privacyfriendly safe call blocking app for Android. It should be able to block all phone calls not in my contact list but allow them when called again (within a certain time). It would also be great if it checked if I called the number and allow it when I did. Is there any?

I found Silence on F-droid but I'm a bit reluctant to go use it since it needs a lot of permissions to work (which is logical, but I'm still hesitant).
