Robocallers and scammers need better algorithms

Just got the final warning on my student loan debt. Heck, they didn't even have student loan programs when I went to school. They should talk to that lady from OnStar that has been calling all week. Or the other lady warning that the warranty on my car has run out.

Actually, the 15-year warranty on my Prius has not run out. They will still fix it for free. Once the chip they need arrives from Japan. 5 weeks and counting. No money in doing free work. Meanwhile, the mailbox keeps filling up -- and the phone keeps ringing -- with offers to flip my properties.

No wonder employers can't find anyone willing to work. They all are too busy scamming each other.

Don’t answer at all. If you do they know your number is in service.

@MrBrownstone @cherokeepatti Normally, I don't answer unless I recognize the number. But as I posted, I'm expecting a call someday saying they got the part to fix my Prius and I don't want to miss that call.

Since they call on my time it is time to mess with them. Scammers always spoof numbers. Normally an answered call is a recording or silence. For the instance it is an actual person game on! Chatter away in babble. Spout strings of numbers. Or go full perv on them. They called you.

They just call everyone and hope to get lucky. I waste their time and then tell them that I have no student loan or car or credit debts or Amazon card or whatever they are using to get my banking information.
I always tell scammers I can pay cash if they come to my house.

Personally I think all area codes from India, Nigeria, and Kenya should just automatically be blocked from connecting to US phones unless the owner specifically clears the specific number

@MethDozer they use a computer and spoof your local area code and local phone numbers usually
