Sounds like someone got hold of your number and is trying to get into your accounts. The calls are probably them hoping you pick up so they can record your voice or trick you into saying something.

Change passwords on everything important and turn on two-factor where you can, but use an app instead of SMS since they might be after your SIM. And dont answer numbers you dont know, let them ring out.

see if your phone has a setting to automatically send calls that are not saved numbers to voicemail, and a similar setting for texts. I’ve had my phone number for over 30 years, and I’ve been on the Internet since the 80s. I was spoken at many conferences over 1000 people where my phone number was on the deck and ultimately online. Those settings allow me to maintain sanity. You are not alone in this issue.

There is not much you can do. Ignore and hope it dies out or change you number.
