Title: Answering phone calls
Post by: shin on March 22, 2017, 06:18:09 AM
When someone calls you on the phone and you don't know who it is, do you ever ask who is calling before you confirm that you are the one who is speaking?



When an unfamiliar number calls while you're unable to answer, and they don't leave a message... do you call them back asking what they wanted or do you just assume they'll call again if it's truly important?



Do you prefer texting to talking on the phone with familiar people?

I've been getting calls from some survey company on behalf of my bank. I made it clear last time not to call me anymore.

I rarely call back unfamiliar numbers because there are a lot of phone scams here.



I don't really like texting because virtual keyboards get on my nerves.

Absolutely and always. No one gets to who I am until I know who caller is   .. and if it doesn't sound right, they get nothing

Depends on area code and only if  I'm expecting a call from or know someone in that area code

Never

If I dont recognize it, I dont answer.



If they dont leave a voicemail, I figure it must not be important.



I prefer texting over talking "most of the time". I dont like the idea of the radiation going into my brain as Im talking lol.

No one can get to me at all. I screen all calls. If it's not my relatives, children, doctor/dentist, or work, I do not pick up. If they really need to speak to me, they would leave a message. Only then do I return the call.

Do you ever wonder how some people get ahold of unlisted cell phone numbers who might call you?

A point on that - These robo callers now have the ability to produce your area code on your screen - no matter if they are in India or Alaska .. making it look local



They get wiser and more tricky all the time at duping people

You know what shocked the shit out of me? I was making an automated payment for a credit card, and my total is less than $50 now so almost paid off. It instantly connected me with an operator, instead of continuing the transaction. I figured, yeah, they gonna make me an offer since I've almost paid them off, sure enough they did. BUT, what blew my mind, was at first they said "cause of hackers, we like to make this more personable. So I need you to answer a few questions. Did you ever live on any of these 3 streets?" and she named a street I lived on with my mom 22 years ago! Then she asked if I was ever affiliated with any of 3 companies, and she named a job I worked at 22 years ago! Crazy! The card is only 8 years old, how the hell they had that kind of info blows my mind.

Whats really nice is when someone puts their phone number as contact info on price inquiry's. Immediate flooding of phone calls. Then because I try to be helpful I'm an ass for bringing it up. Sheesh......

Next time someone calls and you happen to pick up and they are silent just say, "Did you receive the check I sent you?" See what happens. Heehee.

The FCC says it's going to start intervening by making efforts to block some of the more common robo calls.



It's all fun and games for them until they step on the wrong toes.

I figure they got that information the same way background check companies do... but I wouldn't know exactly what it entails.

My wife was shopping for health insurance. They required phone numbers for the quotes. We immediately started receiving telemarketing calls. We had approximately 75 calls between 11 am to 3 pm...annoying as hell. Don't think she will ever do that again...LOL
