Hot Pink List

"Amazon" Calling

Darts, what is even more amazing is that one of the calls was to update me on a complaint I had filed against an agent who gave me incorrect information. The caller informed me that the agent had been identified and his supervisor would be advised and requested to follow up.

I get them, air duct cleanings, visa calls for someone that took money out of my account, customs for a package at the border, Revenue Canada. But they're all with my new cell number, I keep adding them to the block list.

Won't really work, they spoof off a different number each time. Your blocked list will eventually be longer than the 1990 New York telephone directory.
 
Had a guy call about those 20 dollar books of coupons.
Do you want to save money
No
Do you go to X Y or Z
No [which was true]
I told him I wasn't interested and he just kept going on. I had to leave to go to university, I could have hung up on him but I figured fuck it, if the putz won't listen to me I won't listen to him. I put down the phone with the line still connected and started getting ready. At about the time I was done I could hear to stream of words from him stop and I just hung up on him. That was about 25 years ago. No it's just no and hang up.

My ducks are clean. I provide them with a nice pond for them to swim in. Do these people think I am a monster?

My ancient father will actually try to reason with people. Someone called begging for charity and he tried to explain that he only gives to certain causes and never gives over the phone and when the person started to try and close the "sale" he didn't hang up right away. Fuck them, we don't have a phone line so beggars can bug us for money, we are sitting down comfortable and our peace is disturbed it better be for something important or someone I want to hear from.

I hear if you are really mean to them they can put you on a call back list out of spite.

It works with the home number, I do a *44 and it lists them as spammers
 
I have not answered an unknown caller number in years. If its legit I have call answer and if I get a legit message I return the call immediately. Texts from unknowns get deleted immediately. I also delete links from friends unless I’m told what it is. No unknown link is ever clicked on my phone, especially “saw this and thought if you”! Never. If deleted by mistake it can be resent.

If any of you actually speak to a phone scammer, make absolutely sure that you have a dial tone before making your next outgoing call. Sometimes they remain connected after you hang up, to try to decode the next number you dial from the tone sounds. They hope it is a bank or credit card company, so they can add that information to their database of information about you.

Nice suggestion, from now on I will hang up, then reboot the cell phone, or disconnect the cord if landline, that should hang them up.

I have fun stringing them along until they either realise what's happening and hang up, or quit when I start asking sexually suggestive questions. Had 4 of the Social Insurance Number calls on Tuesday.

They particularly love it when you ask about their mothers or sisters.

I have actually had two calls from CRA, I almost said "Yeah, sure it is." Then they started referring to the actual matter at hand and I realized it was legit.

I have had the Amazon calls too. I have time to waste their time, so I press 1 then either string them along for a while or say nothing. Less time to scam others.

I thought CRA told me they'd NEVER call but mail. im surprised they called you wit all these CRA SCAM phone calls.
 
If the number is not in my address book and is unidentified, I don't bother answering. I used to tell them I was part of a nefarious gang.

Brillo pads are dangerous!

 
Received a call for my credit card number. My package will be released for pick up within 30 minutes of processing.
Great scam, but I have not ordered from Amazon in months.

Oh yeah, well I have a multi millionaire relative in Nigeria who is transferring enormous wealth to me. I had no idea.
 
I had a weird one a few years back -- a woman with what sounded like a heavy African accent called me about a "fraudulent bank charge". I immediately knew it was a scam but I wanted to play along.
She asked me how long I'd lived in Canada, I told her I was born here and then she immediately hung up on me. I then called the number back. The same woman answered and I asked why she hung up me. She hung up on me again so I kept calling her back until I got a message saying the number was a not in service. I'm assuming she was preying on new immigrants.
