because sometimes those calls come from recruiters or out of state.

Hoping they hear me out before they take me away.

I woulda emailed them...but apparently according to another phone call I received, my microsoft office has a virus so I didn't bother trying.

Spam changed email behavior and you were able to get spam filters.
They’re not 100% but they’re better than they used to be
With phone calls though, particularly on iPhones, you just have to sit there really.
I can put my phone on do not disturb, but then I get super limited notifications.
It’s a minor inconvenience but I hate ANY inconvenience on something I pay for

In response to Reply # 12


  

          

I get heated just knowing that i'm essentially paying to marketed to & scammed.
FiOS doesn't offer a decent priced internet only plan...so you pretty much have to have the triple play thing that includes phone service. I guess I could just unplug the phone...but damn...shouldn't HAVE to.

It's starting to affect my cell phone too....i've been getting calls on it a lot lately.

Dont try to ignore blah blah... he didn't even say my name lol

I assume they just call thousands of people and wait for some sucker to fall for it. It's fucked up because I field shitty scam calls for my grandma all the time.

Indian dude said I had to give my personal info to pay thousands in back taxes (I paid my lil $170). He got frustrated when I didn’t fall for the grift, so he said I was gonna get arrested for not paying up, and for cursing at him.

it hasn’t happened since. I’m sure they think doing that will rattle people enough to get them to pick up out of curiosity. Not gonna happen with me. I’ll never answer.

I’ve been getting a bunch of emails from “Apple” saying my account has been locked, or hacked, etc. and that I need to log in to fix it. Always odd wordings and incorrect grammar. Lol. Fucking scumbags.

We'd get them all riled up and then once they feeling all fuzzy inside thinking they got a sucker we'd tell'em that the address we gave them is next to a police precinct and we'll have them with us to ensure our safety and then they'll just hang up the phone.
