I've been getting a lot more recently as well and I figured it was due to the phone companies promising to get rid of caller id spoofing this year so scammers are working overtime until they can't anymore.

Oh, is that a real thing that's happening? Caller ID spoofing is the main reason I hold onto my phone number from [small town] Texas, since only my immediate family ever calls me from there, so I somewhat reliably know anything else from that area code is a scammer.
