'Cha-ching!' How to make money off those annoying robocalls

You might get those annoying robocalls and just ignore them, or use a system to block them. Kristi VonDeylen of Oak Grove and a growing number of others are cashing in, instead.
VonDeylen’s phone rings just as often as anyone else’s, but for her there’s a pleasure in answering what she knows will be a recorded message and a sales pitch or scam.
“I’ll be like, ‘ope I got a live one!’, she said gleefully. When she hears ring, she thinks “Cha-ching!”
From her home office in Anoka County Kristi is fighting back against illegal robocalls, finding the culprits and demanding that they pay HER.

Good for them. They’re helping us all. I’ve stopped getting these calls.

[@roynations4067]

I get at least 25 to 40 calls a day from scammers

[@platinumphazer]

Sign up for a Viable phone plan and you will get 3 to 4 calls a day from telemarketing

[@ryantheman5710]

Thank you for the info. I'm looking into buying some pre existing laundrymats. I will try this out when I buy a landline and put it on the do not call list. 📵 ❤️ I'll do my dodilligence to receive the extra compensation to purchase more businesses.

[@fifaref3]

Docs kit is mainly geared for cell phone calls. Landlines are a different creature.

[@michaelandreas2177]

But all the calls I get are scammers from India. How could I collect from them?

[@ChristisMySavior02]

Exactly!

[@relaxedatmosphere1321]

They are contracted with US based companies. You have to dig to get the info but I'm sure it'll work once you do

[@michaelandreas2177]

@@relaxedatmosphere1321 So it's a US-based company that's running a Medicare scam?

[@wearehiringclickhere2327]

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

[@arandomguy46]

that's called extortion

[@fifaref3]

We’re @ $54K after buying Docs kit. About to tackle all of our other calls.

[@ro1857]

curious, what happens when they stop calling you (after a week or so) but you still send a demand letter?

[@fifaref3]

@@ro1857 depends on how many calls you have. Keep notes for when they call again and tie them altogether. More calls more $

[@ΜολονΛαβε100]

@@ro1857Good question. Following. Please update if you can help. Last couple days, I’ve got like 40 calls and I have the number but keep blocking them.

[@sonnybimbo2940]

Well I'm unemployed and live in Michigan I could sure use the money.💰 But with my luck I'll never get a robo call now.😥

[@joepaullawncare7222]

Better hope you have a phone being broke

[@shawnwilson318]

Just start applying for jobs, then you’ll get spam bs calls everyday, never any about a job.. but you’ll get the people wanting to sell you insurance and books 😂

[@sonnybimbo2940]

@@shawnwilson318 the one I get the most is car insurance. Fun part I don't have car or a license.😂😂😂

[@michaelcampos954]

What about text messages?

[@nigeljames6017]

I’m not certain, but I don’t think this will work with callers from outside the U.S.. Also most of them use a VPN so you can never know the true phone number.

[@dmark2639]

Good point. I guess you have to play along until you get to the actual US company providing the service that hired the foreign telemarketer in order to get the info needed to sue them.

[@HaydenHaskins]

I've done this for 4 years and not once have I ever used the phone number to identify the caller.

[@Thefluffytutu]

@@HaydenHaskinsthen you play along with them until they give you the information…

[@ElectraRay21]

Thats what the dummy card is for

[@ElectraRay21]

whoever tries to charge it

[@vincentpagan5070]

How can I do this do you have more information on it ?

[@shanesrshanejr24]

Christy will you teach me how to do this ?

[@mc6966]

You and me!!!

[@brucef310]

Just pay the $47 to the company she learned from.

[@brucef310]

Does this also apply to text messages? At least once every few days I get messages for Business funding for a business I closed 3 years ago. It sucks getting these. @@HaydenHaskins

[@KKISCRAZYFUL]

How do you get a fake credit card?

[@user-zq3mz9fe3k]

You can buy a visa or Mastercard gift card. Some credit card companies allow you to lower the credit limit that way it gets declined.

[@camille3134]

I’m wondering about the ‘virtual’ credit card. Never heard of that.

[@Lauren-pd4jv]

You can do it with an app called privacy!

[@stefancutilo6878]

Hahaha I get so many of these calls fuck it let’s run it

[@silencedandshadowbanned7277]

Im actually going to start is im so tired of this nonsense every day

[@ironaddicted]

Scam on top of scam

[@Thefluffytutu]

It’s not a scam! 🙄

[@Howardsternclone69]

Scam and paid actors

[@Hardin9]

How do you know?

[@brucef310]

I do this. have gotten $6500 in the past 2 months.
