Dave MasonYou just know nothing good is going to come from a conversation when you answer the phone and are immediately aware it's a robo-call because of the significant pause after you say "Hello".
millennial fulcrum@DaveMasonDotMe 😂😂🤌
@DaveMasonDotMe the micro-cues serve the dual benefit, for the person it tells you this is for sure a scam, and for the scammer it saves them loads of time by not having to qualify and terminate on a hard target who can detect scam from the pause
Duncan@DaveMasonDotMe do you not hang up immediately? If it's not important enough for a person to call me I'm not interested
John BurnsIf I must pick up calls (e.g. those calls coming from a place not in my contact list)... then I wait for the caller to identify themselves.
No longer believe in the normal answer phone call etiquette of saying 'hello'... or any other words - because I don't want my voice to be captured and used in some fraud way...
Never say "yes" or "no" or "agree"... for example.
🤬
To be clear... this is for unidentified calls.

If my contact list shows who it is - all is normal.
