I was getting scam calls hourly from Apple. I just talk to them like I do to @aygart and they finally stopped calling.
Google has a beta program for their dialer app for Android. They have a sign up link somewhere. They are working on blocking and filtering spam calls and ever since I got their beta app I haven't got any calls. Before that I had about 5 spam calls a day.
false positives
I'd suggest annoying them by putting them on hold or using a service like this: http://jollyrogertelephone.com/how-to-send-your-telemarketers-to-this-robot/
What can I do to stop getting calls from telemarketers, I got 4 calls today alone, I usually get 2-4 a day. I must have "won" 1000 "free" vacations already. How do I stop them they are so annoying.
Install the True Caller app. http://]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.truecaller
Not worried about false positives?
T-Mobile has this feature on the plan / line level, however I've had cases of:So I turned it off.
And give up your contact list. They upload your contacts and use that to ID those numbers for other people.
What's the problem with that? Why does it affect you?
it's good to be a Lubavitcher
Let's say I saved Freddie's number as "Freddie", and not his real life name. True caller will use that to ID him. So if Freddie calls you, you'll see the name "Freddie" show up instead of his real name.I've seen some interesting names.
The names people call their spouses can be very interesting
