This is the only phrase you need to say to a spammer to get them to hang up and leave you immediately
Thousands of solutions are launched every year to end spam calls, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to do it. There’s even a law designed to ensure that they don’t exist, but the phone keeps ringing, and worst of all, it rings sometimes when it needs to be the most annoying. Even Android itself, which warns you that a call might be spam, sometimes fails. And calls like this keep coming back again and again.
But it turns out that there is a system in place so that once you answer, the call ends immediately, and it has nothing to do with ending the call. Because if you hang up, they will call you back later. Maybe not the same day, or the next day, but they will bother you again. With this trick, with this question that you have to ask the person who calls you, you can get lucky and get unsubscribed from the database of numbers they call.
- The question that instantly ends the annoying spam call
It happens that companies that make annoying phone calls to offer services you did not request, or try to scam you into hiring fraudulent services and/or products, have a main mission. They make as many calls as possible during their business hours. It is their way of making profits.
If you add to that that there is a law in place to put an end to SPAM messages that forces companies to get your consent to be able to contact you, then you will produce a very important set that you can take advantage of to disconnect you.
Because if you have not given your consent for them to contact you, and if what happens is that your number appears in the database of phones that they have purchased or obtained in other ways, and this trick is discovered, then they could get into serious trouble with the law. So, attacking them is their weak point, and at the same time, complicating the call with the caller, is the ultimate trick to get them to end the call and move on to the next number.
So, if they call you to offer you something you didn’t ask for, just say, “How did you get my number?” With this simple question, you’re attacking the weak point of the person calling you. The first thing they’ll do is confuse them, because it’s not a common question, and you’ll also force them to waste time making excuses. If they can’t sell you the product directly, they’re more likely to hang up and move on to something else.
The second thing you do is tell them that they got your phone through suspicious or illegal means, and this can get them into serious trouble because they will have to admit it. Remember that before we told you that you must give them explicit consent to call you, otherwise the call is illegal and the fines are heavy. So, if you force them to admit that they are committing a legal violation, they will apologize or hang up right away. If you are lucky, they will remove your number from the list, so that they will not call you again.
How did you get my number? A simple, straightforward question that can save you a lot of trouble in the future and get them into serious trouble.
