- suyash 6y agoJust registered with FTC's do not call list, let's hope that works.
- sopromo 6y agoSpammers actually use that list to find numbers to call.
- anonymoushn 6y agoThis is an awful idea. The volume of spam calls I receive greatly increased when I did this.
- abnercoimbre 6y agoSigh. Same.
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoDid you report any of the calls?
- anonymoushn 6y agoI'm not sure what the point of that would be, the caller ID is generally fake.
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoOh, I talk to them and ask the caller for information that reveals the company behind the call; then complain via the agency that manages the donotcall lists in my country. Like oh yeah, double glazing, yeah, send an appraiser to my house, can I have a phone number in case I need to cancel? What company ID badge will the appraiser have? I don't get many calls through though.
- anonymoushn 6y agoI usually get calls from people who want to extract my credit card information during the call or take over my Windows computer using a remote desktop program during the call. So most of the times I asked for call back information they hung up.
- boring_twenties 6y ago> take over my Windows computer using a remote desktop program during the call. I wish I got calls like this, it seems like it could be a lot of fun. What kind of stuff are they usually looking for? What would be the best ways of fucking with them? Are they dumb enough to be somehow enticed or tricked into downloading an executable from the "victim" system and running it on their own systems? *The only calls I get are the car warranty scam and the credit card debt scam. Unfortunately, not much entertainment value to be had with those.
