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 feel like 50% of the jobs on LinkedIn are fake.

Take this with a grain of salt cuz I only learned this recently and haven't looked into it, but apparently that's literally true. Some companies will continually post and repost listings for jobs that don't actually exist. I'm still hazy on why exactly. I was told it was so that they would appear to be growing at all times, but again, take it with a grain of salt.
