Do you ever wonder just who is behind those really annoying phone calls? For instance, there is a real problem today with sales callers trying to get around the Do Not Call lists. They have armies of people who call up from multiple numbers, and when you pick up the call, you are greeting with a recorded message. They offer you the ability to request no more calls, but it is just a ruse. As soon as you click that option, they know that they have a live phone number and, like magic, the calls start to increase. Well if you want to get back at them, you can actually sue them for violating your privacy and the terms of the Do Not Call list. But first you must figure out who is actually calling you. And this starts with trying to find the best reverse lookup.
If you do a web search, you will see many sites offering cell phone numbers for a fee. How do you decide amongst them without paying the fee? Unfortunately, there is no way, so we often give up. This is why the robocalling scofflaws continue to bother you. They have found the perfect way to get around the law and get away with it. And there is nothing you can do about it. Or, is there?
One solution, if you cannot find out the culprit through a reverse lookup, is to make it highly unprofitable for them to call you. This probably will not stop the calls, but if everyone did it, the unfortunate employees of these miserable companies would start to lose money and would perhaps quit the companies and go find real jobs.
How can we make these calls unprofitable, and perhaps enjoy a little revenge on the side? Well, there are many ways. One suggestion is that you could go ahead and engage the caller, initially act interested in their offerings, but then start asking so many questions that they eventually get frustrated and cut you off. You can really exercise your creativity in this strategy by feigning deafness or pretending to be a foreign person having trouble understanding their English.
Since many of these calls involve credit card debt resolution scams, they will eventually ask you for information about your credit card. Another way to make these calls unsuccessful is to ask them to wait a minute while you go get your credit card, lay the phone down, and then never come back again. In some cases, harassed phone clients may stage elaborate minidramas to totally confuse the caller, such as acting as if the Publisher`s Clearinghouse Prize Patrol has just knocked on their door. Anything to make sure that you have totally wasted the caller`s time.
Ultimately though, what we`d really like is to get the phone calls to stop. And that`s where finding a very reliable reverse lookup service is essential. The FCC will aggressively prosecute violators of the Do Not Call list if we can only identify the offenders.
