I route some calls to an IVR (phone menu) -- it never rings my phone they are sent directly to be tormented


hello?
4 second pause

hello, who is this?
6 second pause

wait, I don't understand
10 second pause

why are you calling me
8 second pause

hey hold on a sec
19 second pause

ok which line were you I have a few here
12 second pause

I'm not sure
4 second pause

yeah that
6 second pause

wait someone was whispering to me can you repeat that last thing?
5 second pause

no, the thing before that one
6 second pause

yeah yeah
12 second pause

yup
18 second pause

what the F-CK did you just say to me?
6 seconds

that's not what I heard
8 second pause

uh huh
12 second pause

it continues... and increases level of VERBAL ABUSE

they called me

so to ENCOURAGE removal of my number I AUTOMATE WASTING THEIR TIME & MONEY

it goes on and on with longer pauses and LOUD profanity

agents take notes on calls... the more negative feedback they have in THEIR system about MY number

the sooner THEY will VOLUNTARILY STOP calling me

I don't mind paying $0.001/min to automatically abuse them into deleting my number.  

It's waaaaay more effective than being polite

Hey-I've got a better idea. Just don't answer. Believe me, after a few tries these lowlife scumbag cowpies shop somewhere else.

Nah, these computer-generated random robo-calls just keep dialing your number over and over. This is obviously a phishing scam -- this time claiming to offer health insurance --- but it's just like the credit card and car warranty scams. They just want to steal your personal information. The number shown is probably a fake number. When it's a robo-call that won't announce the name of the company, then it's a scam.

Received 2 calls from this number approximately 3 weeks apart. The caller left no voice message

Unsolicited call. Didn't answer. Caller didn't leave VM.
