my same area code and prefix. i know one number (my own is legit), so i imagine i will slowly delete the other 9,998 numbers.
i am tempted to get a new phone number..it is that bad.

I have had the same problem on my iPhone.
Here are my recommendations;
1. What Ever you do, DO NOT ANSWER ANY CALLS YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE, PERIOD!
(Remember that those numbers in your contacts list will post the name).
2. Change your greeting to explain to folks to leave a message or a text and you will call them back.
3. Once verified, add the new number to your contacts.
4. Block all other crap numbers.
If you want to get radical, the iPhone 8 has a feature to block all calls not in your contacts.
Now, for the fantasy solution, find where the offender is located and have your Mafia Friends permanently fix the problems. I will involve the offender's knees, but you will be ok.
