    Your problem is you keep answering. If a guy calls me back after i tell them no they go on the spam blocker, problem solved. Your answering makes the guy think "there is a chance" and that he has his foot in the door.

    Had a guy in the office a long time ago that would answer unknown calls as coroners office. They would still try the sales spiel and he would say their dead, they don't need anything. @catalinaflyer

    I have a Google phone that call screens new numbers...It also hangs up on people that don't respond when it asks for their name and why their calling...and if I tell it that number was a spam call, it automatically blocks the call from that point on. I wish I could customize what the Google assistant says to them, but I can't.

    I usually get a Philippines or NY NY number.
    935449C1-FA0B-400E-BB44-D6B45C996309.png

    The NY number wanted me to haul a TON of loads, asked what trailers i had, flat, reefer, or dryvan.

    I told him hopper bottoms.

    He asked again between the trailers.

    I again said, “I just told you the trailer type, maybe you should do more research as there are a TON of different trailers besides the three you mentioned.”

    Dude hung up.
