'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.

[roynations]

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.😥

[shanesrshanejr]

Christy will you teach me how to do this ?

[vincentpagan]

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

This may have been possible 2 years ago when this video was posted, but no more.
There are people professionally tracking down and exposing these scammers. Add to that most robocalls are coming from overseas. Some from India, Pakistan, and the Phillipines. Unless the governments of those places are willing to put them out of business, the calls will continue.
The REAL solution is to threaten the international networks that are carrying their calls. More needs to be done in that direction.

[BearerOfLightSonOfGod]

[NOSchild]
