Spam callers

I simply dont answer calls I don't know. If its something important my family or friends with numbers I dont know will leave a message.

Sounds like you need some health insurance, bruh.

I get about 25 spam callers a day about enrolling in health insurance a day..wish there was a way to fight these people who steal money from unsuspecting elderly people

I just give them my name, SSN, DOB and passwords and they leave me alone.

I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem... I haven't gotten any spam calls in a long while, and then all of a sudden on Friday, it started ringing off the hook. I got over 20 calls on Friday, then another 10+ each on Saturday and Sunday. I let it ring out and then block the number every time a new one comes in. I did this last time and usually they run out of extensions or variations of the same phone number before I've blocked most of them out.

I'm thinking it has something to do with the recent AT&T data breach.

Yep won’t get calls for a month then one day I might get 10, next day 5-6, it’s fawkin annoying af. I have to answer my calls for business but I’m about to start sending some of the calls straight to voicemail.

I get bombarded every day as well, now I leave my phone on 'do not disturb' and phone will only ring if the calling number is in my contact list. Not whitelisted, it just bounces the call or text.

They call my work phone all day. When it's a woman I say dirty, sexual things to her. When's it a guy I start talking about blowing out his mom's back. Sometimes I play sex sounds that I find on Spotify. Sometimes I play Indian music. Other times I try to see how far into the script I can go before I call them a dumb arse.

I've posted this before about wasting their time.

A NOLA friend tried this and just said un huh multiple times. He got to a second home he owns in another state and found that one of his uh huh's had been used as an affirmative to transfer his electric bill to a different provider. He eventually resolved it (got back to his previous provider) but it took multiple phone calls and lots of time he didn't really want to spend that way.

I’ve heard of then doing something similar when people answer with, “Hi, this is Mary.” Then they have Mary’s voice saying her name and can use it for nefarious things - not sure how true or widespread it is.

I get 1-2 per day and they never leave a voicemail. Almost always from California or Texas and always with a different number, so it’s nearly impossible to block them all.

For people saying you can sue for monetary damages, I don’t really understand how that would ever work. The lawyer fees needed to track down Ranjesh and Patel would far outweigh any potential award, I would guess.

I get about 15 a day on my work like and have to answer, with a lot of the time a spoofed number
The recording will say “now i do believe you have medicare part a or b correct?
I say yes
“Perfect, ill transfer you to our licensed agent”
The live person will ask you have part a or b
I say i have part F and U and they cuss me out and I tell them how ashamed their parents must be of them/ they live in a shithole….
