Fed up with spam calls

Guys,

I am fed up with unsolicited spam calls.

I have tried the below things:

1. activated full dnd by calling 1909.

2. Yelling etc

3. Going on Twitter and tagging the companies alongwith TRAI and asking them to register me on their dnd/dnc list. They just claim that they will look into it.

4. Sent their executives on a treasure hunt by giving wrong addresses for document collection. This was by far the best as entire call centres used to blacklist my no. But now after covid they simply say to give documents online and there is no need to send executive.

5. Post point no. 4, Tried telling them that I am student/unemployed while sounding desperate for money, that had reduced the no. Of calls as they mark me delinquent while handing over the data to next company. But recently the calls have started coming again.


Plz help if anyone knows how to stop this.

PS: These fukers are even calling on weekends and early morning disturbing me. The only last option that I can think of now is to misbehave with their employees. I know that they're just doing their jobs but I am desperate to preserve my peace of mind as well.

But they must be selling your data to the next company. How many calls are you getting in a day?

For me I straightaway say their interest rate is so high I can literally get the same amount for half the interest rate. After asking who I just tell it's my own bank, they drop the call.

For credit cards I tell the same thing as the above comments that I already have it and now planning to close It as well. On hearing it they drop the call.

None of them know by my name, so they only have my phone number and nothing else.

I hardly get one or two calls in a given month.

What phone do you use? Does it not have a smart screen feature that blocks some spam calls? :unsure: Enable it

Download TRAI's DND app and report calls and SMS's within 3 days. If it's from a mobile number then they should be banned after 3 reports
