I have a policy of not providing any personal information on any inbound calls.
"Is this Mr Lauder" Inbound caller Answer" Who is calling?" "Is the Mr Lauder" Inbound caller Answer" I do not provide personal information to inbound callers"
I've heard they are recording and hoping to catch you saying "yes" to use as proof of agreeing to something you didn't agree too.
Have you heard the guy on ytube that has all these various calls where he simply refuses to acknowledge his name or personal details over the phone to the point were the callers/ debt collectors/ govt official / irs or what ever go through like 10 mins of trying to get him to admit but end up hanging up or disconnecting on him - they're hilarious.
I've had this happen.
They usually say hold please.
And I say for what?
Click.
Haha.
'Is this {insert normie name} ??' "That's whom I'm alleged to be. How can i help?' 'Umm, are you [normie ] or not' 'Allegedly I am' 'Sir, is your name [normie] or not' 'Allegedly it is'
'Hold for my supervisor please'
5 minute Rinse and repeat.
'Click'.
Whatever happened to identifying yourself to the person your calling?
Scammers destroyed that social contract. They use your courtesy against you.
