Haha i moved from Canada to Germany. In Canada i would get at least 3 a week, in Germany I don’t think i’ve gotten one yet in the two years i’ve been here
I went to the USA for three weeks 8 years ago. I had a US prepaid phone with a number never published anywhere except my close family. I got three SPAM calls within these three weeks. Being back in Germany with my 20+ years old number I have received one call since.
And usually those aren’t from within Germany, but some scammers calling with Lithuanian or Moldovan numbers. At least those were the ones I got.
Living in Germany, I never got any - until I had to register with my phone number at an American company (for work). Now I get 3-4 spam calls/messages per week.
Never got any
One every ~5 years (Austria)
From Spain, I get a lot all the time
It seems to be spread across the whole country
Poland: very rare, 2-4 per year
Netherlands. They’re rare but I do get the ones where they immediately hang up as it starts ringing and then hope you call back so they can charhe you money for it. But number recognition helps because generally I don’t expect to be called from Nigeria or something.
Living in Germany, I get rarely get any. Usually about 1-2 per year. Last year was an exception, where the same entity (computer or very confused person) called me like 5 times before I blocked the number.
I gave out my number a lot in groups, but avoid giving it to online or delivery services.
Very rare.
I always reject any marketing spam when signing.Finland here. Havent had one in 10 years or so?
But I do agressively forbid sharing my contact info through governmental blocks on sharing them/forbiding the sharing when I start using new services. Also I’m not in business as employer or as a freelancer.
1 or 2 in 40+ years
Living in the Netherlands: none as far as I can remember.
EDIT: spelling
Netherlands, haven’t had one in years, would say perhaps one in about 8 years?
I do make sure to share my contact details only with people I want to share them with
My 20-year-old Microsoft e-mail address though? That gets spam on a daily basis since the Twitter breach
Netherlands, I’m getting them off and on. I get scam SMS, WhatsAppor phone calls. Maybe 20-30 a year, but they aren’t spread evenly. There are times I seem to be getting them all the time
It sucks because I know where they get my number. My elderly dad gets hacked and scammed constantly on Facebook. So if he has my number in his contact, I have to suffer as well. There should be some technical protection against that
