I hate them with a passion and frankly I blame the fucking people who buy/fall for their shit. I mean someone has to be sending them $$ or they would stop.
On my business line I get 1-2 calls every single day from the same assholes telling me that my google listing is about to expire or some shit. Every single day. I have answered and told them I know very well how google works and a. my listing is not expiring or whatever bs they are claiming and b. I could set it up completely free since google does not charge for that. They hang up and call again 5 min later from another number. I have reported them more times than I care to remember. Nothing. On my personal line I get a ton of political text and the number of people who have apparently moved next to my house and wish to make me a cash offer is insane. Who would of thought all of my neighbors were sleazy real-estate investors. |

COVID surveys may be me! Actually if you've been invited to take part in free testing it is me 'cos we have been dialing Orange County.

We do IVR and use real agents, mostly real agents as IVR has atrocious response rates. And for something like booking people for a free covid test, yeah that needs real people.

I received a call from one of my contractors this morning. I'll be damned if it wasn't a recording talking about my vehicles extended warranty. Coincidence that the number cloned was a number I have saved in my phone, or do these bastards have new tactics?

Back when we had a land line and actual people actually called, I would adopt a super sleezy voice and ask them what they were wearing. That usually ended the call pronto! These days I just don’t answer. If its someone I know calling from an unknown number they’ll leave a message.

Thankfully my operator (T-Mobile) launched a free phone scam blocker.

Either way, if people have not consented or opted in, that's an invasion of privacy, harassment, emotional distress, and tortious interference of whatever else they are doing. I think everyone in the US would be more than happy not to have poll results (which are frequently wrong anyway) if it meant no more spam calls.
