How do I get these fuckers to stop calling me short of just changing my phone number...

How do I get these fuckers to stop calling me short of just changing my phone number? I try to keep them on the line as much as possible because it's kind of fun, but damn they are persistent.

only pick up numbers you know. important calls from unknown numbers will leave a message anyway

You see... the more you keep them on the line, the more they think they have a chance of convincing you. So they call you again the next day...

does no one own an answering machine or have caller ID nowadays?
why does everyone seem to feel the need to pick up every phone call?

Not when I keep them on the line for an hour before they "convince me" to let them remote into my XP VM filled with gay scat porn and try to get them to navigate around it before finally calling them curry niggers and and laughing at them until they hang up.

if someone calls from VoIP its almost always unknown

>caller ID

why don't cell phones display caller ID information?

When you call a landline, it displays the caller's full name unless it's an unlisted number.

On phones it only displays the number. What the fuck is up with that? I'd have a much easier time deciding which calls to ignore if I could read the caller ID information that should be available.

I used to get mad, I used to ask for supervisors, I used to demand to be taken off of lists

I used to try being polite, I used to try just swearing and blaspheming every god imaginable until they hung up

Nothing worked. I couldn't even get my own fucking cable company to stop calling me at least once a week with sales promos. So I just said fuck it and started blocking numbers. Every number gets one chance, and if it's not important, they get blocked.

That's really all you can do user

if you live in Canada you can insert your number into a "do not call" list

most companies will stop calling you, but there are some companies that will still find your phone number and still contact you.

usually i just tell them that i have an ipad/android tablet. that usually ends the conversation since most of their calls have to do with a vindows pc anyways.

good luck.

answer the call but "mute" your mic. The will talk but never get a response.

It's fucking hilarious, I get a lot less calls now.

Try a referee whistle.

They have to have their headsets turned up to be able to hear over the other 100+ voices in the background. My brother was a telemarketer and does this to them, they don't call him back.

Imitate a "this number is no longer in service" voice or find a clip of one on Youtube and play it when they call. No more calls if they think it's a dud number.

Be a real man and get a SIP trunk and an asterisk server, filter calls by country code.

I dont accept calls from unknown numbers. And I block people that waste my time.

>heey I'm *mumble*
block

Are you fucking retarded they get paid for being on the line so if you keep them they will literally mark your number for more

This. Just don't answer it. If you do and it's a telemarketer, block it forever and tell all your friends to block it too.

Anyone knows a good way to connect landline phone to a PC, so I can prank these rude people?

I switched to Asterisk and deployed a blacklist, and used Zapateller, and all that shit, and then just said "fuck it" and switched to a whitelist.

No more telemarketers ever again. I know who I want to call me, and they don't disable their caller ID. Add them to the list, everyone else gets hung up on by the Asterisk server without my knowing about it (other than checking the logs now and again).

I swear half you cunts are thickest people on the planet.

>scammers will surely abide by dnc lists

You are the are thickest cunt on the planet.

I put my number on the list more than 6 months ago after getting 2-3 calls a day.

I've received 2 telemarketing calls in the 6 months since.

WEW LAD

I go along with their bullshit and act like a moron. Occasionally make loud typing and clicking noises and act like your computer sucks. Play in to their scam until they notice or you get tired of it then go off on them with a fake indian accent and talk about fucking their fathers in the ass. They get mad and yell at you in broken english then block your number.

I've done it twice at my grandparents house and they stopped calling form each number. When you hear noise in the background they're 100% scams not professional so fuck with them by wasting their time and they don't make money so they stop bothering that number.

Wasting ten minutes of their time is like taking food from their mouths. Fuck third world scammers I hate that shit.

>thinks this thread is about telemarketers

You are the are thickest cunt on the planet.

Shit son, I don't make distinctions between scammers and telemarketers. What I should've said was I've had 2 Poo in Loos call me in the past 6 months.

The OP doesn't make mention of scammers or telemarketers anyway.

>The OP doesn't make mention of scammers or telemarketers anyway.

You are the are thickest cunt on the planet.

OP posted Pajeet you're just a stupid faggot. I'd understand your confusion if it was Dinesh but it's fucking Pajeet.

Fill the VM with poo in loo memes and other anti indian content to piss them off

>this

>How do I get these fuckers to stop calling me short of just changing my phone number? I try to keep them on the line as much as possible because it's kind of fun, but damn they are persistent.

Where does it distinguish scammer from telemarketer here?

Indian here myself, no you fuckin Pajeets sitting in the call centers are the real cunts, forget following U.S/ AuS law, you cunts don't even follow fuckin Indian law and violate National Do not Call Service. Madarchod call centre guy from Amway keeps calling me everyday asking me to buy beauty products. Just die already you fucktards!

>first post best post as usual
>rest of the thread discusses methods to get them to stop that don't fucking work.
God you guys are fucking retards. Literally the only thing to add to the OP is if you're looking for something on your smartphone then use something like True Caller to automatically block shitty numbers.

If you live in a country with half decent legal system (hahaha) you can sue them for violating the DNCR.

This is true, you'll be marked down as a half pitch or a full pitch and susceptible so they will ring up again

A person I know Landlord asked the Tennant's to move out, they said no! Long story short there's a case going on for nearly a decade now, the landlord lives in a rent house while the Tennant lives in the Landlords house rent free. The case recently got pushed to high court, it means 2more decades.

That's Indian Justice system!

>to buy beauty products
it won't help prajeet ;^)

There are approximately 1.5 Indians for every phone number in the USA.

I've never recieved a single telemarketer/scammer phone call in my life. And I don't have a prepaid phone, it's a normal registered phone.

Are you talking about landlines maybe?

I had an idea. They want to get remote desktop access right? So give it to them. Set up a virtual machine and rice it to be the most offensive thing to curry's that you can pssibly think of. Set a big black cock as your wallpaper. Black cock mouse pointer. Every icon a picture of mohammud. Every click makes sex noises or plays someone saying "poo in loo". Then let them have access and pretend you don't see anything wrong with it. See how long they stay on the line.

They used to call me all the time until I told them to fuck off and they havent called back since.

I know, lets spend half an hour on the phone to Pajeet for fun! That'll sure show them not to mess with me again!

thisssss

>Every icon a picture of mohammud
>offensive too pooinloos

murrcans

That guys just retarded. Like none of us are that stupid senpai

>getting new phone contract
>hey do you want your number to be secret
>yes

You've got to be retarded if you get these calls.

>Live in US
>Try to sue a company that you can't find because they use proxy numbers and fake names
>Spend money on a lawyer to do this

>If you live in a country with half decent legal system (hahaha) you can sue them for violating the DNCR.

Christ people are retarded. They are calling behind proxy numbers from India, and don't give a flying fuck about the Do Not Call list. The only telemarketing in the US anymore is illegal scams run by Indians and Nigerians.

Then why does the DNCR work?

First call:
>hello. this is windows and you have viruses on your computer.
really?
>yes, you have many viruses.
on a mac?
>click

Second call:
>hello. this is windows and you have viruses on your computer.
pls stop calling me.
>i am telling you this is very impor...
click on my side

Third call:
>hello. this is windows and you have viruses on your computer.
FUCK OFF YOU GOD DAMN CURRY NIGGER!

Haven't heard form them since.

>Then why does the DNCR work?

It works for legal businesses. They don't call people on DNCR because it is illegal. However, scammers operating on different continents don't care about the law. Whoda thunk?
