Annoyance of Spam Calls
As soon as I landed in Mumbai my phone starts ringing. In Muscat I barely get any calls. But when I land in Mumbai I start getting calls from unknown numbers. These calls are not from my family or friends but these are all spam calls of promotions and offers from companies. Normally I keep my India number switched off in Muscat and only when needed I switch it on. Whenever I switch it on there are some loads of spam messages that start coming. When I am in Mumbai then these calls come at any time of the day and it's so very annoying.
I have also selected the service of not receiving this promotional calls, but yet it keeps coming. I do not know how to get rid of them. The most annoying part is that some of these calls are from the same companies. I keep blocking them and they keep calling from different numbers. I wonder how many calling numbers they have. I also tell the person who calls to note down in their data base that I am not interested and yet they will call up again the next day.
The funny part is that some 15 years back I was making enquiries for a study course in HR and till today I am receiving calls from them asking if I am interested. I guess even after another 20 years they would call. The problem is these call centers work so mindlessly sometimes. They keep following the same data base which is made years back. I get annoyed when someone calls me up in afternoon time when I am taking a nap or on Sundays when the whole world is meant to be on a holiday.
I do not like to be rude with these people, I know it's their job and they have to do it but then sometimes it gets very annoying specially when you are in middle of some important work and then I feel like bashing them up, but I just try to be calm and disconnect and block them. I am sure these people must be also finding it equally frustrating to keep making these calls, because there are many people who do not talk to them properly and also yell at them. One thing I make it a point, even though I do not like it I do not talk rudely with them. I just say not interested and then disconnect. How I wish this madness just stops.
Thank you for visiting my blog. 👼🏻👼🏻💖💖🌹🌺🌸

इंडिया में स्कैम और फ्रॉड अपने चरम पर है। मेरे साथ भी हो चुका है और जब मैंने स्कैम की कंप्लेंट करी साइबर पुलिस को तो उनका सिर्फ इतना कहना था कि "हम कुछ नहीं कर सकते"।
यहां कांटेक्ट डिटेल्स को बुरी तरह बेचकर पब्लिक की लाइफ को जहन्नुम बनाया जा रहा। खैर स्वागत है इंडिया में 🙏
You are right, they keep spreading messages that take police help and all but when you actually go to take their help they instead worry you only.
I honestly get the same spam calls in Denmark x) I am on a list where Danish companies ain't allowed to call me with promotional stuff and they respect that (otherwise the get fined).
But I receive a lot of calls from Indian people with offers aswell and they dont respect the list, but they are also using spoofing, so it looks like Danish numbers :/
How they do these things are beyond my understanding, but it's safe to not answer these calls. I keep blocking but yet it keeps coming from new numbers. In Oman from the local numbers we never receive such calls but we do get from some international numbers and that we can easily identify are scammers, but here in India that's not the case :-(
I don't understand how either, I just know they can x)
I do also know that we have block spoof-emails with some Tech, so its weird we haven't done that to Number-Spoofing yet x) I did talk to my phone-company, not nothing couldn't really be done on my end x)
India is good at making scam calls :p

I think the mindless part is what frustrates most of us, these people do not listen at all, they will keep trying one way or another. Sometimes, I prefer to not pick up the call when the number is unknown or international.
True, they work very mechanically like a programmed toy.
yeaah! it's outrage! every day!
Does it happen on your side also?
True. But we have no choice because the call is part of their work too. 😊
They should respect people's privacy at the same time, if we say no then they should not call.
These calls happen to me so many times too and I don’t think there is a way it can be blocked
Sorry about that though and I’m glad you had a safe trip
Thanx dear, yes I know there is no real solution to this.
