Want a quick solution? Grab your smartphone, your regular phone, and your work's fax machine phone number.
Get your smartphone ready to record (open the "voice recorder" app). Then call your work's fax machine line, and record the tones when the fax machine picks up. Let it record until the fax line hangs up (about 1 minute). You're ready to have fun, now!!!!
The next time a telemarketer calls, open up the voice app and PLAY the fax machine recording when you answer the phone. It usually takes 5-15 seconds for the telemarketer to hang up.
BONUS!!!!! Your phone # will be marked as "business - fax" on their list (basically a useless number, since you can't scam a fax machine). So you won't get repeat calls, and when the people who have you number sell their lists, your phone # won't appear on it!!! Basically, your ## become useless to THEM!!! BWA ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!
The guy Joe calls continuously. I already knew who he was so I cursed him out and told him he was a scam artist. That there was no such agency and that he had called me from New Jersey number before. This time it was a New York number. Any older man with the name Joe is calling from a fake police charity, hang up. He's called me for at least the last three years, same guy. Now he's changed his caller ID to make him see more legit.
call from this number. Numerous times. Requesting donations to police. I listened to his spiel. Let him talk for a few moments, then slammed the phone down. Called back immediately did not say anything to him. He did not say anything. Heard people in background
talking and laughing. Not the first time they called..
