I face this problem at my workplace…

ChiefKiasu:

Also, it is unclear what recourse we have if the spam continues even if we register our numbers as no spamming. Do we tell the caller \"Or-hor... you still dare to call me?\" How do we report them?
I guess.. maybe answer the call, take down the company name, the product, and name of person on the line and as much info as possible.. then make a complain to the relevant authorities..

I used to answer unsolicited calls politely. These days I just hang up without saying a word.

It's usually quite easy to identify those calls. If numbers start with a strange number or have caller ID blocked, you can be quite sure it's a spam. I will pick it up, say hello and if the response comes back 3 seconds later, I confirm it is spam and simply hang up.

Why on earth does setting up a spam registry take 2-3 years?? Grrrr.

Almost all the unsolicited spam calls I get these days have voices reminiscent of Michelle Chong’s Leticia Bongnino. Serves me right for sending in those lucky draw entries.
