- sq_ 6y agoFor sure. I was mostly referring to online "deals" with my comment, but it definitely applies to phone solicitation, too. I personally ignore almost any phone call from unknown numbers these days because so many are scammy or robocalls. I figure that if anyone really needs me, they'll leave a message.
- tartoran 6y agoI keep on getting robocalls from a Chinese scam for more than 1 to 2 years now. I don't understand Chinese but asked a friend to translate and it's obviously a scam aimed at older chinese expats. They always leave the same message. Im surprised it still works after all this time.
- stallmanite 6y agoI avoid all solicitation in general. If I want something I research it and buy it. I never make a purchcase based on an incoming offer of any sort even if I want the item or service and it’s a good deal. It avoids 90% of scams before I even enter the funnel.
