    If it’s a spam call, that let’s them know that the number is active. They’ll keep calling if you do that.

        I’d fine telecom’s a million bucks per connected spam call and it’d be fixed by Wednesday of next week.

          And who is gonna pass that law with both parties getting their dicks and clits sucked by the telecoms every day?

          Some hacker should find all their phone numbers (and their families phone numbers) and add them to the top of the Indian scam call list. Then something would get done about this.

            Ugh they made phones useless for receiving calls. We can build incredible floating airports and fill them to the brim with the most advanced fighters in the world, we put a man on the moon then put a car on the moon for hin drive but for fucks sake we can’t stop spam calls. Drives me nuts.

              If Congress, and their families, started getting stupid spam calls 10 times a day, I guarantee something would get done about this.

      I like to waste their time. If they hang up on me, they’re not calling back.

        I do this sometimes, it’s great. I pretend to be just really, really, really dumb that whatever they’re trying to make me do doesn’t work. “Give me your credit card number” “I can’t, they’re glued to the credit card…”

        If they start yelling, you broke them.
