After a call, go to truecaller and rename them as paki terrorist recruitment cell. Or comment as such.  Such names are flagged by truecaller to the defense agency.

How to stop personal loan spam calls?- Grapevine

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…

How to avoid credit card companies calling twice a day during working hours to sell a pre approved loan offer.
Have tried everything and it seems they never put my number to Dnd. Blocked their 10-15 numbers, still getting calls from other numbers. Is there any way to stop getting these calls.

Preapproved Loan on credit card Spam calls

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.

Anyone here think that the number of random sales calls have increased in the last few months ? Lately I’m being bombarded with random unsolicited calls mostly with pre-recorded messages.

Anyone know any solutions to stop receiving these calls - DnD doesn’t seem to be working

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.

Credit card spam calls

Post inspired from another post. What is your method to deal with spam calls? 

What I have tried and it worked well for me:
 Get Android phone. 
 Get Truecaller. 
 Block all calls not in the phone book. 
 Do this for a month. All callers will find your number unresponsive and remove you from calling lists.  
  
 If you are expecting unknown calls like Swiggy/Zomato/Amazon, unblock momentarily till the delivery. 

Your number has been public. Your telecom sells it, bank sells it, Universities sell it, discoms sells it. Your number is sold as soon as you buy a new SIM from a telecom. If there's a buyer, even you wud sell your number for a good price. Weird world. 

Even TRAI is useless and doesn't execute fines plus the onus is on you to complain and report via a stupid needless form for every spam. 

In India, Truecaller is a 99% good solution.I  know some friends in sales & call centers who mentioned they don't wanna waste effort & time with non-converting leads. So they update their calling lists & non-responsive numbers are filtered out. So every 6mo, I block all unknown numbers and monitor my spams. Worked well.

I want to know what does a fintech or a money management app does with all the data that they have. Do they sell it to other fintechs directly so they can sell products to customers or do they also sell it to brands for customer insights

Recently I am getting unknown calls from the USA. This is happening very frequently currently. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Unknown calls

In the hospital with my dad, during meetings, on a date with GF, and when I'm in the toilet. The one thing that all of this has in common are Ketto calls. 

They are abusive, sick, and downright infuriating. I bought YT Premium because of these assholes. Please for the love of God, please tell me how to block their calls. I have blocked 30+ numbers but they go down to the level of calling from personal numbers and trying to guilt trip me to donate. 

Charity and ed-tech level sales thundercunts.

How do I stop Ketto harassment

Product Marketing Manager

I applied for a standard charted credit card via a phone call agent. (sir you are eligible for a card call wale). I wanted a platinum LTF card but she said after submitting the details I am eligible for another card with fixed yearly charges of 350. She told me she would pay me 350 after I received the card. She called back-to-back during office hours. So I blocked her. In the last two days, she has called me from 7 different numbers, at least 20-25 times. Finally, I picked up her call, and she told me that she would have to pay 3000 rupees fine If I won't process my card. She will G-pay me 350. 


Should I do the v-KYC?

Credit Card Drama
