I'm getting spam call from a Group on Facetime. They robo call at midnight and don't stop.

This is a WELL DOCUMENTED issue. What is being done about it???!!!

You have to go in and block all 20 plus numbers. And by the way, they keep calling every couple of minutes from new numbers. So sorry, blocking does not work. Again, all this has been documented.

Then block them.

That is also a consequence that you are not properly protecting your phone number. Publishing your phone number on the internet is a culprit.

And that's how they find out your phone number.

You can also call your Carrier, when they can block the numbers. All Carrier support that.

I agree and I'm sorry to hear this. You and I both have had to shut down Facetime. Apple does of course monitor this area. They may not respond and they do pay attention. They would be foolish not to. And if they don't stop this, many more people like you and I will simply shut it off. Not ideal from Apple's perspective.
