Up to now, unwanted calls refer to all unexpected calls like scam calls, spam calls, robocalls, telemarketing calls, etc. Both annoying and risky, all such unwanted calls may bring about losses on privacy or money. Hanging up alone fails to guarantee that you won\u2019t receive such calls and some funny tricks work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an increasing number of unwanted calls has been seen, it\u2019s not difficult to identify them the moment they\u2019re received. Perhaps eye rolls are always accompanied by such calls getting through and next comes the hanging up. However, that is not the best solution if you really expect not to receive any calls from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of my friends, Lisa, told me about her actual experience as a telemarketer intern. \u201cWhen I was in grad school, one of my part-time jobs was as a telemarketer. Here are a few of the things we were told during training,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFirst of all, if the person on the other end lets you continue with your pitch after you have identified who you are and why you\u2019re calling, keep going until you make the sale. If they didn\u2019t stop the conversation before it ends, it means that some part of their mind is interested in what you\u2019re selling. The one and the ONLY way to get us to stop calling someone are if they tell us to stop or to take them off our list, or something just as direct. If you simply hang up, the caller who is working the next shift will just call you back. The computer just puts your number back in the queue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, it does not work at all as you hang up a scam\/spam call. Even though you can stop a call this time, what about the next time? Next number? Next scammer? Countlessly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although some solutions are always provided to you everywhere online like Do Not Call Registry<\/a> or a third-party blocker app<\/a> like RealCall<\/a>, why do you keep so serious all the time? Sometimes, some smiles and tricks may help you easily solve problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once a call has been confirmed as being unwanted, what you need to do next is to leave your phone unattended and do something quite noisy like washing, hoovering, or just tapping a metal pot. The noise generation indirectly tells the other end their calls aren\u2019t welcome there and will stop the other party from calling you again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When confronted with robocalls or telemarketing calls aiming to sell their products and services, don\u2019t consider escaping. However, it might be a funny idea to market your own business. You can play a role as a telemarketer to market your products or services so that the other party has no opportunity to sell their own. Whenever there\u2019s no hope, the call will be automatically ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Interview them to pretend to be interested in their products and make a note about each detail about their company and products like company name, employee ID, etc. The information can be used as evidence to provide to the police if you call 911. If not, their time can be wasted as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This trick comes from a TikToker called 1roy_jr<\/a> and his video clip<\/a> wins more than 9 million views.
