Hey folks, 
As you also may be quite irritated by all the spam calls you receive, what steps have you taken to free yourself from this abuse? 

I have a Pixel phone, it does a good enough job of screening these calls, however at a daily rate I receive 10 spam calls.

Recently been getting a call saying my Mobikwick account is compromised and asking to confirm it’s not be by sharing otp

I work in tech , I have seen my share of spam calls but this is too natural and too good as true caller when I viewed its coming with a green tick ( obviously some jugaad they did ) . 

Please be aware and careful to not share otp

Has anybody also observed that the number of spam calls for credit card, pre approved loans increased exponentially?

I wanted to figure out the root cause of this.

I remember one of my friends asking me to download ONE Score app to check my credit score, around 5-6 months ago and since then, on an average there are 4-5 calls daily. Not saying this definitely was the root cause but just a speculation.

Just wanted to know what others feel regarding this and any steps they took to mitigate this.

I have been using the same phone number for more than 15 years and I’m getting a minimum of 7-8 calls everyday from
financial services, charity, insurance etc. I’ve never made any loan inquiries. Also enabled DND from the day I remember. However, this keeps me bothering. Any hacks to get rid of these spammers? 

I have more than 800 numbers in my block list…. But still…

For some reason this app (loan provider) does not seem to have implemented rate limiting on OTP requests. I have received 10+ otps in the last hour on my number. Their customer care is unresponsive. While the chances are still low - a scammer could just brute force an OTP match at some sufficient scale of phone numbers and requests - to get a loan sanctioned.

Any ideas on how to stop this 🥵

Moneyview OTP scam

I got call from +919748491421 and they said from telecom dept and one other scam number is tagged to my AADHAr card. 8451879980 is tagged to my AADHAR and used for illegal activity. They asked me to come to Mumbai or complain to Mumbai police. Is this a new kind of scam or telecom dept is validating all scam numbers for security purpose?

Will telecom dept call and cancel all registered numbers?

Technical Lead

Hey all!

I have a product, in the vegan, frozen ready to eat category, and I am trying to get them onboarded on zepto.

After reaching out to 5-6 people through LinkedIn and one reference, I am back to square one.

However we will go live on big basket in a few days, the reach and volume of Q-commerce is what we are eyeing. Any ideas how this can be achieved?

Thanks in advance!

When signing up for free trails esp with SaaS companies, I use anon mails - https://10minutemail.com/
So no spam whatsoever 

Does anyone know anon phone number site like this?
Which we can provide and get on without sharing our personal details

Recently moved to a new city and was looking for a flat for rent.

Went through the nobroker app and found some good properties and even took the moneyback plan as it was cheaper than paying brokerage and also had the guarantee of getting my money back so why not!(Foolish me🤡)

This is where all shit begins
- For more than half of the properties listed there, the owner does not pick up the phone.
- The relationship manager(RM) is the most useless person(not sure on what basis they hire), even after mentioning my requirements over call and chat both, he suggests flats which he likes even though they do not match any requirement that I'd mentioned. My requirements were simple of a gated society and within 10kms of my office (not asking for too much ig)
- let's say I even overcome the above 2 obstacles and finally am able to contact the owner and schedule a visit after tons of discussion with my RM, on the day of visit no one answers the call and I'm left stranded😭

And also as a bonus point, get ready to be spammed by their cross-services of packers and movers, rental agreement etc ( received more than 10 calls in a day🙃)

And now when I want my money back they are not at all receptive and just ignore my calls and messages. 
Although it's not a huge amount but I felt cheated and hence wanted to rant and probably help people who are looking for nobroker reviews.

Beware people, it's one of those open scams🥲

Do you feel companies are using contact information of candidates (from job portals) to spam the hell of out of them, thereby bloating their own lead CRMs with the same?
In my case, recently I've received calls from Pristyn Care, Unacademy, Vodafone, upGrad, other BFSI majors, etc. 
Having said that, I don't discount banks and fintechs as well.

I got a verification code when I didn't use it, anyone say, where does this lead to, and why would someone choose MagicBricks?

MagicBricks, seriously, why?

Growth Manager

Is anyone else getting these random calls saying your parcel has been returned from some place like Taiwan or Singapore? 

It's a very well orchestrated scam where the robo call puts you through an agent who then gaslights you into thinking you've sent some sensitive item and that they need your PAN to get it delivered.

Anyone getting scam calls from Fed Ex?

I am posting this information to safe gaurd others job seekers and  posting after doing my level of research as one of the victim is my close friend. 

Person named Brahmaiah Shaik, who claimed as currently working as senior HR at Virtusa, Hyderabad has taken money from many unemployed job seekers promising them Jobs in development and testing and help them with fake experience letters and other onboarding activities. He has been promising jobs in Virtusa and Wipro like companies. Almost 38 lakhs has been collected from 21 individuals since Jan 2024 and they are still job less as he is not reachable now. People who has given money became helpless now. Please be aware of these fraudsters. Do not believe anyone who are promising jobs atleast do not pay blindly well before any progress. Build up your skills and try out for jobs or atleast approach a renowned consultants. Please if someone are there from Virtusa..let me know any internal ombuds channel to report this.
