Are you getting boliao calls more and more often?

XciteZ SG

Recently for the past few months, I keep getting weird calls from recruit agencies asking me to join them for some talks, insurance companies asking me for some financial plans, some branches in boat quay telling me I won some consolation prizes, and banks calling me up to sign up for credit cards.

Sighz... How on earth did they get our particulars?? It is like no privacy at all sia.
Some can even call my house when they couldn't get me on phone.

Is there a leakage of personal information somewhere?

Anyone of you have the same bad experience and how you dealt with them?

Kawazoe SG

Yes there are companies that provide such information on us, they are some survey statistics company i think, that collect contacts in some way dat i dunno off. Then when lets say creative wanna do a focus group of boys aged 15-18, then they will approach this kind of company for contact details.

I believe everyone's contact is somehow oredi recorded down Confused

Must be some of those nonsensical competitions you joined...

Otherwise, your number is a recycled, which is damn irritating.

I dun even bother to wait until they finish their presentation. I'll just cut them off by saying "Not interested" and hang up........

No need to be angry wif the callers....... they r just doing their job as a tele-marketer. It's those tele-mkting bosses who have to be shot!! Evil or Very Mad

yea lor, these few days esp on thursday...

got two calls, one from a MLM company, another from insurance company...asking me to join them Rolling Eyes Altho those ppl have called me before a few times and each time i told them I am not interested Confused

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Don't need to cut them off... I usually play along and make them play merry-go-rounds with me Laughing

Think those working in telemarketing and MLM fields would know, because I played too much.

Lorry` SG
