One Man’s Trick For Dealing With Spam Phone Calls Has Gone Viral
Caller ID can be a useful tool for dodging scam calls, but it doesn’t always work perfectly. Many people ignore unfamiliar numbers to avoid spam, yet sometimes those unknown calls turn out to be legitimate. Other times, we answer hoping it’s important, only to discover it’s a scammer on the line.
When that happens, most of us simply hang up. Unfortunately, ending the call doesn’t always stop the problem. Spam callers often keep trying, leading to repeated interruptions and frustration.
To deal with this, some people have come up with creative tactics to make scammers hang up first. These clever responses can be surprisingly effective—and sometimes even funny. Recently, a viral TikTok introduced another entertaining way to shut down spam calls quickly.
TikToker Roy L Baker Jr has a voice perfectly suited for voiceover work. He uses that impressive voice as his secret weapon against spam callers, demonstrating his method in a now-popular video.
In the clip, his phone flags the incoming call as potential spam. He answers confidently, already knowing exactly what he plans to say. Viewers who watched the video were eager to copy his approach for their own unwanted calls.
One commenter joked that the trick would only work with a voice like his. Another asked him to post a version without background music so they could save and play it during spam calls. He agreed and uploaded a clean version.
His strategy has sparked curiosity about creative ways to handle spam calls. Would you try something similar, or do you prefer simply hanging up when you realize it’s a scam?
