Seems to be more scam artists than telemarketers

I get them in waves

won't hear from them for weeks and then the phone gets a wave...

at least I guess they are telemarketers - if I don't recognize the number I don't answer it.

Hardly any. My provider blocks most of them or gives a warning. I really don't answer most unknown calls anyway.

If they are not in my contacts, I just don't answer them. Despite any lack of warnings. I have less than a hundred contacts including businesses.

@DeWayfarer They are spoofing local telephone numbers. I don’t know if it is someone I am doing business with or whatever so I answer.

@cherokeepatti think my provider covers that with the warning. They suspect it's a spoof. Yet can't prove it.

All the time, including nights, weekends, and holidays. I don't answer the landline, and I block them on the cell.

They get mad when you tell them to talk slowly because their English is so bad.

My phone often says spam call. If not in my contacts I wont answer.
Or i will say can you speak up. I ause you can yell all you want you are not talking to me you are talking to my answering machine. At the beep leave a message. Beep. Giggle.
have a special way of insulting them if I answer

@saragoodtimes Ask them to repeat what they said. Ask them to speak louder. Finally tell them you don’t understand their English, maybe they need to go back to school to learn how to speak it better.
@cherokeepatti when it's one offering a final expense policy I Always ask if I can be buried here in the USA or do I have to have my ass shipped to India followed by a slur to them.

I used to, but I have them blocked now. 👍
DDonde · 31-35, M
Not telemarketers per se but bullshit recruiters that spam calls. I get at least one call about a job from halfway across the country that's completely irrelevant to my experience and skill set a day.

The last one was a survey about what I think of the government. The first question was; Are you over or under 55 years of age? I said I'll fucking pass on that question and she hung up on me.
