Dome Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Nothing is important enough for me to call anyone or anyone to call me. I have a phone so I can get on football’s future at work and that’s it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikesfan89 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 The worse are the ones that call with a local number. I don't usual talk to an actual person though but for some reason they think I have a really bad back and have a bunch of credit card debt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I also get a bunch of calls and letters about an extended warranty. If I don't sign up I'd have to pay for repairs out of pocket. You don't say 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's any kind of importance, they'll leave a message. The problem I have with that is all of my business calls are forwarded to my cell phone, so I have people I don’t know calling me all of the time.

MacReady Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Yeah, I hate robo calls. At least when they were real people I could troll them. Can’t troll a damn robot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ataal Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I work in IT and support hundreds of people with company cell phones. I am constantly getting asked what can be done. Unfortunately, there is very little I can do outside of telling them to simply hang up if they are not someone they know or if they don't identify their company/name of one of our vendors or customers. I also get many of these calls on my personal phone number. 2-3 a day, probably, and I do not give out my number to just anyone. People I am close with(half a dozen or so) or the companies I pay bills through only. I don't mean to laugh at "they're just trying to do their jobs," but those are not what we're talking about here. Those are telemarketers and are not supposed to be calling you if you did not give them your number and/or you are on the "do not call" list. They could absolutely be fined if they break the rules. The ones we're all pretty much talking about are spoofed numbers who are rolling through phone numbers on some type of algorithm. There seems to be two kinds. 1-8xx numbers and numbers that are similar to your own. For instance, if your number starts with 480-340-xxxx, you'll get calls with those same prefixes. They are scams. Car Warranty, "You won a prize," "I'm a process server," "you owe money from an account that's 9 years old," etc.. Do not interact with them. In fact, do not even answer the call(flags your number as a "good" number) if you can help it. I think there will eventually be a crack down on these kinds of calls, but for now, we're just going to have to deal with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
