I just make the G Assistant answer it
9 times out of 10 telling an AI voice who’s calling and why is too hard for even a normal human to figure out so they hang up and now there’s nothing to worry about!
How would one do this?
Move to the US, basically.
Works in the UK (at least on a Google pixel) as well but not sure about other countries, is reliant on a Google account+Google services which are kinda privacy invasive
Then no.
I literally did this the order day because a phone number called twice in 2 days and bypassed my Pixel’s spam filter. All the sites for googling phone numbers are all scams it looks like. Anyone know a good one?
The site for googling is google, man.
I have the maximum AI call screening option on with my Pixel 8. Real people actually tell it who they are, machines and telemarketing pricks hang up immediately upon hearing the AI.
I just answer the phone with the greeting of someone who’s not me.
This is exactly as it should be. I haven’t changed my greeting since I started at my current job so it still says the previous employees name lol. Plus I left my desk phone in my previous cube so I don’t actually have a phone at all.
I mix it up, scammers have an automated system that goes “vwoop” when you say “hello” so I’ll answer as if I’m answering the phone from some fictional business of some sort.
The scammer will hang up and then call again. wash rinse repeat a few times and then I don’t get any calls on my real phone number from scammers for awhile.
You know they share information with each other on facebook and other services owned by facebook. So all their scammer groups stay open, but if you say that there were never any WMDs in iraq on facebook, or if you question any official narrative about anything at all on facebook, or do any real journalism through facebook, your entire account will be erased from it.
meanwhile, scammers have hundreds if not thousands of groups on facebook that exist for the sole purpose of sharing victim’s information with each other for a profit and facebook does absolutely nothing at all to put a stop to that.
I have to admit i lean on the Google call screening hard. In the last year or so I have only had one or two actually try talking to Google. They just hang up
Holy shit I think a scammer company is using my phone number as a fake employee contact number.
I’m never expecting an image from Twin Peaks: The Return. Let alone for something so banal.
Ten of the last twelve incoming calls on my phone were scam numbers. I haven’t had the ringer or vibrate turned on for my phone for months so I never notice them. My phone does a pretty good job of blocking them and an outstanding job blocking spam texts
I work for a phone company, it’s pretty satisfying seeing all the hard work actually be useful for society.
Elaborate?
I also want to know more like the previous commenter. Automatic screening that I had with an old pixel phone was the best thing Google ever did for me back with a pixel 3.
‘me searching for it online’. Try not to use the G-word
What, Google?
what if i don’t use google. you want me to say i’ll duck duck go it? i’ll bing it? i’m kagiing it right now? yahooing? oh yeah i’ll AOL it? you are silly. a silly man. stop being silly
Just duck it.
I’m good thanks though
Without using it, can you tell me why? Is that how g**-gull tracks you online?
Don’t bother, if they can’t leave a message, you didn’t want to talk to them.
And if they leave a message, I won’t listen to it. Text me instead.
Can’t leave a message if i don’t set up my voicemail
My voicemails get transcribed to text, so I can just read them
I actually can’t make or receive phone calls because it’s too stressful and unpleasant, so probably don’t bother x
And if they text me, I won’t read it. Just don’t bother.
Nah, you gotta loop back around. “If it was important, they would’ve called.”
This looks like Norm Macdonald’s cousin.
meanwhile Truecaller app
Well I stopped using it as soon as I learned how it works. I even de registered from their website Unlisting number. But yeah I occasionally needs it , for that truecaller bot exist in telegram.
any links for the said bot? I’d like to stop using truecaller myself.
TIL about the bot, thanks for the mention 👍🏻
Its not anything official. But better than having the app. https://t.me/TrueCaller_Z_Bot
I used to use that for ages, but the constant ads made me uninstall it
Newly re-elected New Zealand Prime Minister John Key was talking to a supporter on his mobile phone when another call came in.
“I didn’t recognize the number, so I didn’t take it,” Key told a New Zealand television station.
Only later did aides tell Key who was trying to reach him: President Obama.

Its a news site but the only place you can find the date of the article is in the URL. Sometimes I am baffled by the weird design decisions people are making.
It says it right under the headline, no? Or maybe that’s only on the mobile layout or something.
It’s called USA Today. That means you’re only supposed to read the news that came out today.
Oh, so it happened today. Makes it a lot less interesting now that Obama is not a president and hasn’t been in years.
Lmao can you imagine President Obama having a call go to voicemail?
Im surprised the aides from each side didnt do all the logistics of connecting with one another and the president wasnt just handed a phone with the call already connected through.
That was the aides from Obama’s side calling 100%. The minister was newly elected, maybe fairly new to politics as a whole? Maybe he just doesn’t like middlemen. Edit: **Re-**elected, I missed that. I guess the second option then.
That’s what I was thinking, surely it was an aide who was dialing who’d only hand the phone to Obama when it actually connected to Key
just thinking logistically, I imagine that happened a lot. Anyway I expect a decent number of his calls were made by aides and he just took the phone after they got through to the right person.
Even if it said “President Obama” many people would think it’s a prank.
I guess I should start answering… what if it’s Obama?
Definitely don’t ghost Obama. He’ll drone strike your house.
