Y'all also get spammed with calls on a daily basis? (leddit.danmark.party)

I get 2-3 calls every day from random companies trying to sell me insurance or other shit. Was wondering how the hell did they even get my number, and if there's any way to have it removed from their databases.

Tell them you are very interested then put them on "hold" and play some 10 hour battlefield theme for them. Time is money so if you waste their time they will never call again.

I’ve answered my phone while crying once. I was expecting a different caller, and the +4520 start to the number seemed legit. Someone trying to make me change electricity provider, not super sure about the company, “gul” something. He hang up exactly 3 minutes and 37 seconds in, and they have never called me again since. It must have been effective at scaring them off, I guess.

Gul strøm? Then you probably gave consent through some conest on Facebook or something like that. I've worked for them. We'd often call people who said they were on Robinson listen, but that doesnt help, if you gave consent somehow.

Could be! And I for sure hadn’t shared the number they called. I am the kind of person weird enough to have a cheap old extra phone, specifically so I can use that number instead of my real one whenever I sign up for almost anything.

I assumed they have a random generator of some kind, because my number is protected, and I have still gotten various spam calls over the years, ranging from salesmen, charities and surveys, despite being very paranoid about who gets my number. Even the car dealership for my last car didn’t get my real phone number.

I dont think they're generated, as im sure we'd end up in "dead ends" often, which we didnt. Im not sure how it works exactly with hidden numbers. If its only private people who cant find them or what it is.
