FWIW I seem to have reduced them to a few a week by picking up the call and just not talking. If it's a legit number not in my contacts the caller will ask for me. If it's a scam call they just hang up after a moment and I think they're starting to put me on their own do not call lists. Any chance that might work for you?
- CameronNemo 4y agoI do the same. Mostly they just hang up. Sometimes they start threatening to take possession of the real estate I don't own.
- onetimeusename 4y agoI can't help but think it's funny that scammers may have their own do-not-call list.
- jdavis703 4y agoYes, as someone who has done volunteer telemarketing, we mark the call status. For example if you’re angry/rude, non-English speaking, disconnected, etc. Campaign managers can then target call sheets accordingly (e.g. for a Spanish-speaking line, have the Spanish team do a follow up call).
- tomcam 4y agoThat’s really cool to find out. Thank you.
- thfuran 4y agoI ported my number to a voip service and set up an IVR that forces callers to press a number. I've gotten exactly one spam call in the roughly one year since I did that.
- Scoundreller 4y agoThat also works collectively by clogging up their lines and costing them more in connection fees.
