I get two calls, from countless cloned numbers. Because of what I do for a living and that I do most of my business from my cell phone, I HAVE to answer every call. It's either "We are calling to talk to you about your student loans" or since I bought the new car it's been "Your factory warranty is expiring soon..."
"Oh! You blocked your number or called from a clone number to sell me an extended warranty? I'll buy two because you are clearly a reputable company if your initials point of contact is from a blocked or cloned number!"
I also have no student loans.
Sadly, if people didn't fall for this shit, they wouldn't continue to do it. In my mind it's no different than doctors prescribing anti-depressants. They are essentially trying to play darts by throwing something that might be a dart in a dark room where there may or may not be dart board present.....but someone is going to give them money!
