Anyone else in the US getting an absurd amount of scam calls? (hexbear.net)

I usually get a few scam calls every day but in the last week or so it's increased exponentially. For example: I've received 19 in the past 6 hours. Just curious if this is happening to everyone or just me.

I get at least one every day, but not exponential growth.

Recently, I've gotten a new infuriating variant where they rapid-fire call me and leave as many two second voicemails as possible until I answer or block the number. agony-turbo

Also getting way too many political donation solicitation texts, but thankfully my messaging app puts them in the spam folder automatically.
