If I hang up on them will it indicate to the bot that my phone number is real and they will keep calling? Should I just let it ring and not do anything? I'm afraid to keep blocking and then eventually blocking a number that was used legitimately by someone else.Sometimes if I answer I hear nothing and get hung up on immediately but then the amount of spam calls I get go through the roof after thatThat government "do not call" list didn't help...
if it rings they already know it's connected and waiting for someone to pick up.
Pick up the phone and moan, fap and play porn in the background to assert dominance
Depends on which you get.Chinese robo calls? Just ignore them, eventually they think the number is disconnected.Indians? Make fun of their accent and belittle them. Eventually they give up.
just dont pick up. the calls are always from a weird area code and not on your contacts so its automatic ignore.
>>101572639>That government "do not call" list didn't help...They help in my country (mexico). Only two or three calls that still went through me offering me shit I recorded them, asked a bunch of questions to get their information and then told them to fuck off never getting any data from me and telling them a huge fine would be in their way.Sent that recorded call and details to the government. Never got a call again.Obviously if you have a pending debt they can legally call you all they want, so don't be a nigger and pay your debts.
look for pattern in caller numbers, add pattern to no event list
>>101572639Pick up but mute your mic, let them waste time, they will ramp up the calls for a while but will soon blacklist you.
Use call screening or let it ring and go to voicemail
>>101573051+1 for call screening. They hate that shit and hang up immediately each time I do that. I think it shows that you are willing to waste their time with the most minimal effort and they get upset because of it.
>>101572639I answer as the name of a police department
Stop entering your phone number online. Any time you give your number to a company they sell it and scammers eventually buy that information
>>101573051>>101573122How do I screen calls on graphmemeOs?
>>101572994>>101573122That certainly sounds like what I need. But it seems that automatic call screening is only available on Pixel phones I believe. Currently have a Samsung Note 10+ and only features it has is caller Id, blocking numbers, and informing me if its suspected spam. Which helps but I hate having my phone ring 10 times a day to calls that are spam. I want to get rid of them entirely if possible.
I'm on the national do not call list and it hasn't helped whatsoever, I get as many calls as I did before (4-5 per day, 90% of which are """amazon””” scams)
>>101572639Allow only calls from your contact list.
>>101573228Turn on Do not Disturb and there should be like an "Allow only calls from my contacts" annd I think you can refine it further to a specific list of people
I used to get 4-5 calls a day and one day it just stopped. I used pixel call screen. Check your credit report to make sure nothing's late or incorrectly added to your credit. I get pursued sometimes because my sister is a piece of shit.
>>101573265>Go on national donut call list (I'm a pajeet and idk if that's real even)>Hacker / spammer agencies pay for exclusive access to said donut lists >Get more calls than before signing up for the donut call list Heh
>>101573490why can't third worlders read
>>101572639i used to just answer them because i liked to waste their time but i realized they started phoning more because of it, so i just started ignoring them and now it rarely happens at allin fact i got one earlier (didnt notice till way later though)
>>101572639disabled my number two years ago and switched to data-only, it's been so incredibly peaceful, phone numbers are a 19th century invention, no reason to use them in the 21st century
>>101572785>>101572639I love getting calls from india
>>101572639just use spam filter and it will automatically hang up for you
>>101572639Truecaller
i use them to practice racism and keep my skills sharp
>>101573207you can't
>>101572639>be me>phone in silent while I sleep>wake up>3 missed spam calls from different numbers between 7 and 9AMlife is good when you wake up at 10
>>101572639>How to reduce spam calls?Use the same system spammers use to send 100% of /pol/ posts to every congress critter. They will take interest and force tech companies to force authentication to set caller-ID. Anything else is whack-a-mole and artificially created companies to bandage the issue.
I haven't had many spam calls over the years, but they've stopped completely since I got a Pixel and started screening with Google Assistant.
>>101572639turn off ringing. I don't take calls anymore if there is no appointment. fuck this technology.
