I actually think the majority of robocalls are from call centers with access to blocks of phone numbers they shuffle around.

I wouldn't even be surprised if phone companies got kick backs in some way too. Very few people are willing to change their cell number to protest.

I get ones with my number but the last 4 digits different - this worked the first few times I got them in 2019 but they’re definitely spoofed and I imagine they have a higher success rate than using real numbers.
