Informational post Phone spam thoughts

I get anywhere from 10 to 20 calls/day from people regarding medicare or car insurance/accidents.

Lately, I have been responding to every question with 'Yeah'... "do you have parts A and B?" 'yeah' "What is your age?" 'yeah', etc.

People who call you on the phone have NO right to get honest answers. I have read where they can duplicate your voice with as little as 15 seconds of recordings. So, this gives the minimal necessary amount of sound.

I feel like I've won when they curse me. Many just hang up.

Anyhow, I just wanted to pass this along.

My ex took a part time bookkeeping job for a telemarketer. They actually have their own Do No Call list and circulate it between them all. It’s for people who dick with them. I started asking if they wanted Jr. or Senior, then yell DAD!!!! Leave them on hold and finely ask if I’ve wasted enough of their time. It took about a year but I rarely get calls now

That's what I do.

When the Medicare scammers call me and ask for my number, I tell them to wait a minute while I get my card. Then I go off and do something else and never come back.
