Move to the US and get 5 per day!
- shellfishgene 4y agoI don't get why this is the case, surely there must be a huge majority that hates those calls and wants them to stop? Is there some sort of political lobbying that prevents effective laws from being passed?
- geysersam 4y agoI'd also imagine spam calls getting less effective when you get used to them. But maybe that's not the case?
- TylerE 4y agoIt’s actually a positive feedback cycleZ those who still answer the phone are more likely To be easy victims.
- guillem_lefait 4y agoThere is lobbying indeed, the leverage being the call-center jobs. In France for example, this activity was under scrutiny for decades (2014: https://www.lemonde.fr/vie-quotidienne/article/2014/02/12/demarchage-telephonique-le-lobby-des-centres-d-appels-a-gagne_6003724_5057666.html https://www.lemonde.fr/vie-quotidienne/article/2014/02/12/de..., 2022: https://www.francetvinfo.fr/internet/telephonie/demarchage-telephonique-une-nouvelle-reglementation-insuffisante-regrette-la-clcv_5417347.html https://www.francetvinfo.fr/internet/telephonie/demarchage-t...), and even if the law is now more restrictive than before : - no week-end call - calls from 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 8pm - you can be included in bloctel, a "do not call me list" it still leave room for this activity. Almost all these jobs will probably be replaced by AI in a near future, so the main leverage will disappear and ...
- imglorp 4y agoThat doesn't help offshore call centers dialing to you over VOIP. Different jurisdiction and difficult trace means almost no accountability. That's the problem in the US, plus our congress is of course, the best one money can buy.
- 323 4y agoDoesn't the DoNotCall register work any more?
- ipython 4y agoMost of these calls come from illegitimate call centers running scams overseas now.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoThat has not worked since 10+ years ago. But I did stop getting so many spam calls in recent months, so I assume ATT or other phone service providers in the US have enabled some type of anti spam measure.
- texasbigdata 4y agoEven better, outside of the illegitimate ones, if your role is at all applicable, Oracle sales reps will essentially love bomb you on a never ending basis and because their turnover is so high, you get a barrage of calls on any given day of irrelevant things. Honestly I wish the phone “app” didn’t exist. If it’s some you interact with a lot it’s very unlikely an unannounced phone call is what they’d go with.
- SpelingBeeChamp 4y agoAre you on the Do Not Call List? Have you tried asking Oracle to not call you again?
- TylerE 4y agoThe DNC does not apply to companies you have a business relationship with - only cold calls.
- nubinetwork 4y agoI looked into using oracle cloud servers this year, but gave up after a day or so because the interface was bad. They only called me once, because I hadn't used the account in a month. They've only emailed me once since then.
- rtkwe 4y agoMine seem to come in waves. I haven't gotten any, or Google hasn't let any actually ring my phone, in a few days then there will be days with a half dozen.
