Everyday i get about 10-12 scam calls and at least 5 messages from international numbers (mainly Thailand, Indonesia, UK, USA, Philippines, Singapore) to click on a link, recharge money and play something stupid only to be robbed eventually!
I keep getting messages from our Cyber cell to not click such links or give out private bank details.
Every day someone wants to offer me a personal loan so i did say yes today and asked for 50,00,00,000 Indian rupees and the lady hung up lol
Chinese people seem to be quite active with us lol recently. CR means billion.
Yes I am sick of them, I with they had a setting on phones where you could leave a prompt for callers to have to activate for the call to go through, you know like a lot of doctors offices do. Example, You have reached my phone but to stop spammers press the the last for digits of my phone number for your call to go through, or press the number on the keypad corresponding with the first letter of my first name, only then the call would go through and your phone ring, all other calls would go to voice mail.
@SW-User That is too bad, I found it useful, I only turn it off when I am expecting a call which might come from an unknown number then after that turn it back on again.
It's clearly the violation of DND. The TRAI has provision to penalize such callers up to INR 10,000. But operators are not doing anything, because they are getting revenue from these callers.
@SW-User You have to personally visit the nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra for updation of mobile number. For most other things you can do it online from your home. It would be not easy though, you have to decide if it worth doing the exercise, or you are mentally ready to enjoy the spam.
