robocallers spoof legit numbers. most cell phone carriers now offer robocall blocking.
now, it seems the new thing is getting just a 4 digit number when one calls. had one the other day and it just displayed 8009 for the phone number. |

When I get a fake phone call I give the phone to my 5 year old granddaughter, it normally take 2-3 min before they hang up. (she likes to talk on the phone.)

This is where you need a voice message on your home phone or mobile.
Just like the answering machines of old. Any sort of message will do because spammers and bots don't like automated answers such as... Our agents are currently busy and unable to answer your call at this time - for your convenience this call has been registed on our system - please hold or leave your name and number after the tone and we will get back to you as soon as possible. |

had those before stompem. im like WTF? you called me. how can they all be busy.
but, then i found out that some will actually charge you to wait and the wait is always about 5 mins. just hang up immediately. those people charge ridiculous amounts to "hold to record" nonsense. |

I mean that's the answer you leave for them on an answering machine. Or When you answer the phone and you realize it's probably bogus, answer politely and get them to state their business before going any further, if you are ignored then just interrupt the "conversation" and say you're categorically not interested no matter what it is and then hang up. Above all be emphatic but not rude - they should go away after a few answer like that. |
