Incredible but real!
You have no idea how many calls my family and I received for different reasons, all of them a lie. I taught my mother to find out something about the phone caller and to block it, because they are insistent and not only by phone call.
I and many people I know both here and in Argentina received e-mails that are scams to steal our data and get into our bank accounts.
Supposedly there is privacy of data but all phone companies have our numbers and sell them to the highest bidder .... is like that.
With the elderly it's the worst, they have no idea about technology and so on ... it's complicated.
Too many scammers in this world.
Very good option with the whistle, good idea!
People (on Hive especially) like to delude themselves that they have anonymity, that they fly under the radar, when in truth their most private information is generally out there for others to see, scammers included.
These scammers reach into our lives and don't care that they ruin them, I figure the least I can do it ruin their hearing in return.
They hide behind the phone, treat others callously and with contempt and get away with it. If they tried such things standing in front of people the result would be different right? Like, I'd take action they would regret for their entire pathetic lives, but I can't so, I figure bursting their eardrums with my whistle is a reasonable fallback. I hope I cause a lot of damage, it'll make me happy and is the least I can do. They don't care about the damage they do to others and so ai think it's fair to tlreturn the favour since I'm not able to shoot them in the face through the phone.
It's true they don't care about anyone or anything, they have ruined many people's lives, and even left them without their savings, I have neighbours who have gone through that.
The worst thing is that they are free and continue to swindle.
Well done if you broke their eardrums.
