Anyone else getting random horse-crap phone calls?

Lately its be that typical warranty call, but they hang up after 7 seconds


Smh, what's the point

I heard that if you voice mail starts off with the fax machine sound or the number no longer in service tone, they robo call system takes you off their call list. The real problem is voice over IP phone systems. These scammers can make millions of call for only whatever there monthly internet fee is. They need to get charged for every robo call them make.

I've gotten a couple calls and they were speaking Chinese from a Colorado number...

I have been getting a few unique ones, a Portland Number, speaking in Chinese,

The only people to call my business line this week have played recordings in what I think is Chinese

Got one of those the other day

Got that too

My wife started getting these calls on her cell phone a week or so ago, from a PA number.. She's driving me nuts telling me about it. Did anyone figure out what this was all about?

I don't even answer anymore . They can make the call I'd lie about where they are at and who they are. If I don't know them there's nothing to talk about .

They all have one thing in common, they want your hard earned $$$

I typically don't answer calls unless I have contact associated with the number. If it is important then they will leave voicemail. I have gotten call from the Chinese robocalls several times over past few years.

The spammers can copy your area code so their number looks local to you.
I let any incoming callers not in my Contacts go unanswered.

If the calls are coming to your mobile phone and you use an iPhone, consider doing this:

• Navigate to Settings -> Phone.
• Enable Silence Unknown Callers.

What it will do is send the call immediately to your voicemail. This is for any call where the number is not in your Contacts.

There is a downside in that some desired calls would go to voicemail and you'd miss the call.

Never did figure it out. I think the Xi Xen Ping was trying to reach me about my car's extended warranty expiration...
