      I kind of enjoy yelling at the SWISS POLICE calling about my arrest warrant. It won’t be the same.

      Im confused. If this was already possible then why haven’t they been doing this?

      I really hope that these scam calls, if they don’t stop altogether, will at least become less frequent.

      Yesterday I nearly missed the final payment for our hotel, as I’d been receiving calls from Geneva over the last few weeks in broken German. Just like the many other, mostly French-speaking scammers, I’d simply labelled French-speaking people as fraudsters in my mind.

      But when the guy spoke on the answering machine, I realised it was legitimate and that he’d been trying to contact me for the last three weeks because I’d made a mistake with the payment for the booking. Luckily, ~~I got off lightly and can now claim my inheritance from a Nigerian hotel heir in Olten~~ my wife didn’t kill me.

      So, they won’t “block” calls coming from outside of Switzerland, only anonymize the calling number. You’ll still get the call, but the calling number will be shown as private or unknown.

      I have enjoyed the ones who tell me there is some sort of issue with my Amazon account like a gift card being bought to send to someone. I ask them to give me the name of the owner of the account. I had one made a hilarious pretence of the line going dead and being unable to hear me. The other times with that scam they just hang up when I ask that question.

      Only from mobile phone numbers? I just got a scam call from an official Google number. The scammer even spoke Swiss German. This is way more dangerous than Indians larping as the Swiss police.

      oh, no, wait, then ALL the call centers that got outsourced would be SPAM
