Wait so if you pick up the phone from an unknown number you don’t say something like ” who is this ? ” And just wait until they talk?

HELLO?!

It should be common courtesy to text or email first. Yeah, I know calling is faster but with so many spam calls nowadays, a text doesn’t hurt.
I mute/block unknown numbers, I’m not risking myself getting phished. If you want to get in contact with me, state your business.

They want to record my voice to hack into my bank account, I know it!!!

Y’all answer unknown numbers? I just ignore them. I rarely ever get unknown calls now

You’re already an idiot for picking up.

That’s so me. You called first, so you should talk first.

1. They’re checking numbers to see who will pick up, and will call more if you do.
2. They use recordings of people saying “hello?”, or “are you there?” etc… so they can trick people into thinking they’re native English speakers before ‘Michael’ takes the call (Michael’s real name is Arjun).

I do say hello so that they know i have taken the call. But sometimes they respond with “hello” and the stalemate begins
yeshie_e on
ꫂ and no one dares to say hello, cuz why me if you called me first, never letting you hear my voice before i hear yours👀
SZEfdf21 on
Yes, once you pick up you say hello so the person on the other side know you’ve picked up and doesn’t think they’re still ringing.

Waiting game, who ends the call first.

My phone goes straight to voicemail, and I tell me in the voicemail recording if they want to speak to me, prove your a human by leaving a voicemail and ill call them back.
Did this over a decade ago and shit still works

I don’t know where people are from that they get random calls from unknown numbers. Like, where do you live where it’s allowed to just sell a phone number to the highest bidder?

If im not expecting a call from an unknown number I’m not picking up. If you’re important, you’ll leave a text or voicemail

Congrats your number is now on the scam call spam list, enjoy 30 days of scam and spam till they refresh.
STOP picking up random numbers, it has no purpose. If it is important they will leave a message full stop. Otherwise their call was not important.
Havent gotten a spam call in 2 years now

I wait like five seconds, screech and then hang up

Hello, good morning/afternoon/night, how may I direct your call?
They usually hang up when I do this.

I have never answered a phone call and then said nothing lol either don’t pick up or say hello

I litterally kept buying my pixel phones just to answer the phone from scammers this way, I has robot chatting and if someone actually calls talks I shows what it says and I can choose to pick up, saves so much time from there unknown numbers. I think Apple added something like this very recently, and maybe Samsung as well. But it has definitely been one of the lock in feature on pixel for a while.

I always follow the rule of – if it’s important they’ll ring twice or leave a voicemail. If not, I’m blocking them

Answering unknown numbers? You’re brave.

This is why I love the call screening feature. Has really stopped this from being a constant thing. 99% of those calls are now automatically silenced for me
Mysterious_Ad216 on
I usually like to play with them, Strings then along only to mess with them when theybthink they got a sucker. But at work I answer with silence and they hang up within 5 seconds

It looks like the ones that say “alô” (Brazilian greeting for phone calls) and wait you to talk because they have your information. If you talk to them, they’ll transform your vooce into ai and you’ll lose money.

You answer the phone for unknown numbers? I let my phone screen every call from numbers not in my contact, and automatically block suspected scammers.
LoschVanWein on
I don’t pick up my phone for numbers I haven’t saved. Send a text or fuck off.

Call screening has done wonders for my sanity. I like to just spam the AI responses at them.
