Fight against telephone harassment
Re: Fight against telephone harassment
For "unpleasant" and repetitive phone calls, but with a "human" at the end, there is also the solution of the whistle (like those of the cops). We let the interlocutor come, we answer "normally" but by responding with an increasingly low volume so that he sticks the horn to his ear (or increases the volume of his earpiece) to hear. Then we grab the whistle and put the biggest blow possible in the microphone of the handset. The whistle frequencies pass very good in the phone and unpleasant to the ears descaled for the day. Usually he doesn't come back, he hangs up by himself.

Re: Fight against telephone harassment
With hindsight, it is confirmed that the effectiveness of the "bloctel" device is more than modest, because I am daily annoyed by these calls. Same observation from "Que Choisir" in its last issue, which speaks of "mixed success" and calls for a petition to be signed ...
I adopted one of the formulas ofObamot: when I do not know the number, I do not pick up, which is less annoying for me, but does not seem to discourage them.
Flytox, I find the process consisting in letting off steam on people who are in the position of simple performers and not responsible for the practice of telephone harassment questionable.

Re: Fight against telephone harassment
Do not answer is useless, because until you answer, you remain in the loop of numbers to contact, and I think you will get tired before them.

What I also find doubtful isaccepter in his soul and conscience to do as a profession "Public piss off" (telephone aggressor). Is it less justifiable to defend yourself when assaulted by a professional assault? If everyone starts throwing them away, at least the profession will disappear in this form? Well not even, they will put a robot .....

We can "defend" super painful ads (brainwashing genre), which have been swinging the same painful pin for years on the radios for example.
In principle, when I have an equivalent product to buy, I will not buy under any circumstances the one who drunk my ears until I was thirsty!
In fact, I am making a blacklist not only on the product but on the brand.

Most of his "stalkers" act from telephone platforms off shore, and are therefore made up of very poor foreign workers who often have no other means of subsistence.
Because in many countries, there is little choice between, on the one hand, exhausting farm work, factories with very harsh conditions or telephone exchange type jobs which constitute a "lesser evil" if not a social advance.
And in France many poor workers unfortunately have little choice but to accept these types of jobs and the suicide that goes with them ...

Being called several times a week, often when it least suits us, is tiring. Because the problem is that as long as you have not answered, they will insist (I know I have already tried it) and as long as to do each time at different times of the day.
The best solution I have found is to invoke the 1978 law "Informatique et Liberté"
When the operator begins his sales pitch, you ask him for which company he works for, possibly his siret number, then you let him know that according to this famous law, you have the right to access and to rectify the information they have about you, and that you ask that everything they have on you be erased.
Basically you don't even have time to finish your sentence they hung up.

I have a former colleague who probably having only that to do with his days, and having no doubt some gifts of "mentalist" (he knows how to attract the sympathy of almost anyone) had fun playing with these operators.
He told me that very often, he managed to divert the conversation so that these operators told them about their country, they talked about the climate, tourist places to visit, etc. Are records would be to have held the leg for 1 time to this kind of operator (who of course did not succeed in placing his product)
And he said he did that because "as long as he talks to me, he doesn't piss off anybody else"
I tried it once to have fun, I don't have his gift, but the operator who called me did not hide my calling from Morocco

Re: Fight against telephone harassment
Unsolicited calls are an assault, so defend yourself. When I'm in the mood I like to make them go crazy.
The easiest way is to answer yes to all the questions, at some point they will ask a question which we cannot answer with yes, but I do it anyway, it's the magic moment
Sometimes I play moron (the ideal target for them) but by making them go around in circles, I managed to crack a so-called ERDF representative who wanted to make an appointment with an "expert" to save money. electricity. Ah, that feeling of a job well done when the operator loses his calm and yells at you when you've always been courteous, it's wonderful
