I rarely get a spam call on my cell but at least half the calls to our office landline are span. We have to answer them because we frequently have callers from unfamiliar numbers around the country. It's really bad during medicare enrollment. We also get calls from collection agents about someone who we've never heard of.

And we get junk mail addressed to the previous owner of this building from a high end retirement community in Arkansas. He lost everything he had in bankruptcy years ago and recently was convicted of credit card fraud.

I answered a spam call once and started speaking in a Chinese dialect. The person on the other end hung up. A few minutes later a spammer called me speaking Chinese. Then I replied by speaking in Klingon. That ended the spam.

I started answering most of them and being a dickhead to the caller. Calls have gone down since I started doing that.

I don't need that - my iPhone already has a feature to block those calls.

I guess I will try that. Sending them random dick pics doesn't work. And has me on a shite ton of A&M alumni lists.

Not lately, but one time I decided to frick with a telemarketer who called. He must have added me to some list because after that I started getting an insane amount of spams.
If you even accidentally answer them or mother eff them you get put on a list like fast food workers spitting on your food.

Did you apply for a mortgage or refinance, or something?

I used to answer them and hold the phone up toa speaker while blasting Slayer. Now I just ignore any number that isn't in my contacts. If you're legit leavea voice-mail and I'll holler back.

I used to get some of those but my phone has a block option which I use. They tried to call from different numbers for a few days but I blocked those too. Eventually didn’t get anymore calls.

I don't answer the phone. Leave a voice mail and I will call you back and add you to my contacts. If you are in that list I will answer.
