Getting random FaceTime calls with multiple people
Getting random FaceTime calls with multiple people whom do I know and they’re all random numbers FaceTime calls came at all hours of the night. I’ll block the numbers and then the next night I get more FaceTime’s from different number
How do I make it stop?!!!!
iPhone 8, iOS 14
I am also having the same problem. I'm getting calls from large groups of adolescents...it's 12:49 a.m., and this is the second time tonight it's happened.
The kids tonight immediately got on, and one of them showed his "friends" a graphic and asked them what they thought of it. It was the skull and crossbones from the Nazi uniforms in WWII with the "SS" lightning bolt logo. They also made extremely derogatory anti-semitic comments. On the second call, this kid had found another version of the Nazi skull and made it his avatar, and the other kid had a big red image with a swastika. One of the emails invited to the call was "AlexJones@icloud," which I think might be their wishful thinking that their right-wing idol might actually have that AppleID.
I have complained to Apple about this in the past month and nothing was done. It is not coming through on my phone...they're connecting with me on my computer with my AppleID, which is a VERY simple AppleID, so I know it's an accident. But when I ask them nicely to stop, they continue to harass and abuse me. Apple has told me to report it to local police, but I live in Texas, and they won't do anything. I have numbers and email addresses for the kids, but local authorities have no idea what to do with this. I don't know these kids...I don't have kids. They are guessing that their friend "Kat" has a particular AppleID and calling me.
I can't find a way in FaceTime on my computer to block these little idiots. But I'm offended, I'm angry, and I want it to stop. And if your recommendation is to get a new AppleID, I can't. Because Apple won't let me transfer thousands of dollars' worth of apps and music to a new AppleID, I'm stuck. I tried, and it didn't work.
I need help. I'm so tired of this. Apple needs a mechanism to report abusive FaceTime calls...they have access to the user information associated with these AppleIDs, and need to do something. Does anybody know how to tell who actually initiated the call? I did see that "AlexJones@icloud.com" never did pick up.
I tried blocking phone numbers the last time this happened, but the kids would add other people and the calls would still come through. I also tried disabling FaceTime, but it's not stopping the calls.

Word has it on these threads that there is a trend on social media to group call and find followers. I cannot verify this information that some adolescents are trying to get fame by random calling but the solution currently is to disable facetime altogether.
