Robo Calls - WTF Getting out of control

[RitcheyRch]

Doesn't work either.

Block the numbers.

Might have to try Robo Killer.

I use Robo Killer.
Haven’t had a spam call yet...plus it actually talks to the spammers and fucks with them, and records the calls so you can listen later.

It’s pretty hilarious to hear spammers get pissed off when they realize they’re being played by a computer.

It’s out of control.. I get 10-20 a day. I won’t even answer a 949 number anymore.. and when I thought I outsmarted them now they are coming from all over the USA! Wtf?

I get them non stop

My google listing needs to be updated - I don’t have Google
Student loan forgiveness- no student loans
Instant capitol for my business - I usually tell em that I’m a Painting contractor and my guys need new ladder racks for our fleet of convertible corvettes
Also some guy always calls and he wants to sell me 3,000 sawzaw blades, or 500 - 7 1/4 skilsaw blades, or a pallet of upside down orange mark out paint

Over half the calls recieved, I don’t even answer

So who is going to say wow great thanks for calling, yes I need $500, 000.00 cash with no credit check.....

 

[HBCraig]

You're not the only one, I get 3-4 a day I even got a call from myself once.

Same here

 

[was thatguy]

I never used to get them at all.
Now about 10 a day.
I never answer them...ever.
If it isn’t an existing contact I do not answer it.

I have been getting them from so called insurance company saying they are recording the conversation. Well they want you to say "yes" they take that yes response and use the yes response for approval to cover you on their insurance. So they ask you "is this Thomas?" I say "maybe" and they hang up. Can you imagine. LOL!!

I got it, and while it did help, I don't think it was worth what I paid for it. Most calls start with a recording, so it's only talking to a recording most of the time. I did get one live person and it was pretty funny.

I unpaired my phone from my car so I don't have to listen to it ring. If you never answer it seems like they calls go away after a while. Once they figure out how to robo text I'm pitching my phone in the trash.

They already have.

Use to get 3-4 a day. Don't answer the phone if it isn't in your contacts. Now I get 1-2 a week.

In my opinion, the computer calls log which numbers answer and how long you stay on the phone, then sell that info to live telemarketers.

Might be some truth to that

I get 3-4 of these a day. I usually don't answer but when I call the number back it is disconnected.

I bet eight or more of these robo calls daily, and let them go to my home phone answer machine. Every evening, I just delete the calls recorded without listening to them first. As for calls to my cellphone, I don’t answer the call unless I recognize the caller’s name or the phone number. Anything else goes into the message cashe and gets deleted.

Well, it's a start.

[RitcheyRch]

Definitely a good start but bet 4 more new ones started immediately.

Well, it's a start.

I got two calls from my own number last night? WTF, That's a first.

 

[TPC]

I did a thread awhile back on
The RoboKiller app.

It puts the telemarketer on hold then returns 2 minutes later and fucks with his head. It really pisses them off.
Your phone never rings nor vibrates, and if you want, you'll get a text later that you may have a spoofed call blocked.

This is off my iphone. Got this call this week:
