Why do I get so many Span calls in Chinese?

I get like multiples per day... I don’t speak Chinese. Can’t they spam me in English so I know what they trying to sell me !!! I’m physically in the US so u would assume spamming me in English makes more sense no?

远离我们的自助餐,胖忍者!

(Stay away from our buffet, Fat Ninja!)

I think it’s pretty clear what they want from you.

Never received Chinese spam. Do get some "Poland" on a semi-regular basis though.

(Perhaps they are dating sites, Ninja!)

I wouldn’t mind getting the polish ones. Break it up a bit...

I get the same type of oriental language calls on my cell phone. Also I am in USA. The caller ID is disguised with the same area code as my phone number to make it look like a local call. Have no idea the motive? Surely others must be receiving spam calls on their cell phones?

There should be something that one can do to regulate these.

Change your ring tones.

One for the people in your contacts list and another for other stuff. And don't answer the other stuff. Let it go to voicemail.

You can also download a ringtone called silent. As the name suggests, it's silent.

All my Chinese calls go there or I forward them directly to Fat Ninja.

Every single effing day! They always say I have a god damn package. It’s good when they disguise as my local number as I no longer live there. Everything is spam from there or people wanting money from me. I have no money.

I just get pre recorded ones. Once they think you’ve connected, a real person then joins the call to reel you in.

That’s when I hang up. Hopefully wasted just a bit of their time too.
