How in the heck is this legal? What's the point of caller ID if people (telemarketers and scammers) can just hijack a different number? You can't even call back. It'll go to the original number instead of the asshole that called you.
"you called me?" "Nope" "well, I got a call from this num. . ." "Phone number spoofing, look it up, happened to you with my number. Good luck."
I get daily calls from numbers that are from an exchange nearby, so I never answer my phone unless I have the number saved as a contact already. I have not yet received a spam call from a number that I already have saved, and once that starts happening, I will never answer the phone again.
I have a contact named Blocked. Every call I get like that, the number gets added to that contact. Future calls go directly to VM; the phone doesn't even ring. As others do, if you are not a contact, your call will not be answered. Leave a message and I'll call you right back.
Have fun with spam VOIP calls: Threaten to kill the caller in interesting ways eg., “I’d like to turn you into a lamp shade, do you have any ugly tattoos that would ruin that for me?’ Ask the caller “before we begin, would you please take off your shirt?” Often, this is followed up by the Indian caller saying “yes, right before I bugger your mom!” (A classic!) If you have the time for it, give the caller all the false information you can. When it comes time for the credit card number, ask carefully that the caller is ready to write it down, then tell him “ one, two, three, four ... are you getting this? ... five, six ... “ And of course, if you’re short on time, and the caller says his name is Steve, tell him you know it’s Sukdepe and you have so much clean water at home that you shit in it.
If i have the time and once a person is on the line, i say: why are you guys always call me when i’m getting a bj. Honey, stop, they want to forgive me my student loaaaahhhaaaaan, wait wait, sir are you therrrreeere?
I'm calling B.S. ! The snow on the roof would melt the snow thus extinguishing the fire on the porch.
I've just been repeating everything they say. Not sure why they always hang up 9n me. Its extremely rude,
Apparently I have "many acts of fraud" on my "social" and if I want to avoid jail, I need to call them about my "social".
