I get something like 100 spam emails, and half a dozen spam SMSes every single day, then 2-5 phone calls a week. That's just from a couple of domains where I hadn't noticed PrivacyGuard had lapsed.
The emails can be blocked easily, but the SMSes don't come from a number, they just have a random word in the "From" field and they use a random one each time, meaning blocking the "sender" is useless. They also come at all sorts of hours, so I can get 2-3 SMSes at 4am advertising Amazon crap, or other affiliate spam.
Spam seems to be getting worse and worse, despite all the efforts to combat it.
