I'm getting SO MANY more spam calls than I did last year. I'm not sure if this is an American issue or if it's everywhere, but many of my friends here have noted the same. Mine are automatically blocked because they tend to be STIR unverified, and yet even without my answering them, they continue to try, sometimes multiple times in a row. It's getting really nuts. Several per day at this point. And I've made it a point to remove my data from the hands of data brokers, so I can only imagine how bad it is for other people.
